This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

A management decision needs more than a convincing AI answer. The real test is whether the work, the evidence and the accountability are clear. Here are 346 tools for that: 221 ready-to-use question lists, checklists, templates, procedures and matrices, 97 models and methods, 23 services shown on screen and 5 working files.

Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in your next team meeting.

Why AI alone does not make you a better manager

Role requirements stay vague while a vacancy moves forward. Team goals look measurable until nobody agrees on the calculation. Assignments pile up, meeting notes blur proposals with decisions, and workload problems stay unresolved. Copying these problems into an AI chat produces more text, but clarity still requires a manager's judgement.

What changes after this course

Each role has clear readiness criteria, each goal has a checked formula and owner, and delegation matches capacity. Meetings end in recorded decisions, working conditions improve based on evidence, and AI drafts are checked before anyone acts on them.

A note on the structure

The course opens with five practical AI lessons, each with a working file and a fictional example. The following sections on recruitment, KPIs, meetings, motivation, leadership, rewards, talent and remote teams give the full people management foundation.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

At Wargaming, before any message went to all employees, managers received it three days earlier with guidance on how to explain it, so they could answer their teams' questions. Before I learned to manage delegation, my own people regularly left their problems with me on Friday, "think about it over the weekend", and went home with their weekend free.
