Are you eyeing a promotion within your current organization or perhaps seeking to progress into management elsewhere? As industries undergo major global transformations, from managing hybrid workforces, to bridging the talent gap, to widespread adoption of AI, employers seek the qualities associated with leadership and management roles.

In fact, Coursera’s The Job Skills Of 2024 report highlights that leadership skills are even more in demand in 2024 than ever. Leaders are especially needed to manage and direct organizations to safely navigate organizational change, so companies can be more robust and withstand internal and external threats.
