Manager of Managers: Cross- Functional Leadership

Coursera · Intermediate ·🛡️ AI Safety & Ethics ·1mo ago
Manager of Managers: Cross-Functional Leadership is an intermediate-level course designed to help experienced people leaders navigate the complexities of leading across departments, disciplines, and competing priorities. In today’s matrixed organizations, success isn't just about leading your own team—it’s about driving alignment, communication, and execution across multiple functions. In this course, you'll learn how to build and lead high-impact cross-functional teams, improve inter-departmental communication, and successfully manage initiatives that span beyond your immediate scope. You'll explore practical frameworks like RACI, shared goal-setting techniques, and routines that break silos and encourage collaboration. Through short, engaging videos, real-world case examples, hands-on exercises, and interactive coaching dialogues, you'll gain the tools and confidence to lead when no single function has all the answers—and when leadership means bringing together diverse voices to deliver shared outcomes. Whether you're spearheading strategic projects or managing across functions, this course will help you lead with clarity, trust, and cross-functional influence.
