Leadership Essentials for Team Leads
Teacher: Grace Lim
About this course
Stepping into your first team lead role is exciting and a little overwhelming, especially when you are still learning the ropes yourself. This course gives new and soon-to-be team leads a practical, no-nonsense toolkit for leading people day to day, without needing an HR background or a formal management degree.
Through short, applied lessons, you will build the habits that separate reactive supervisors from trusted leaders: coaching conversations, structured feedback, smart delegation, calm escalation handling, and fair accountability. Every lesson is grounded in real team scenarios common in Philippine workplaces.
- Run a short, effective one-on-one coaching conversation
- Give feedback that lands well and actually changes behavior
- Delegate tasks without losing control of quality or deadlines
- Know when and how to escalate an issue to HR or your manager
- Set clear expectations and follow through on accountability
- Handle common team conflicts before they become bigger problems

4.5I used the feedback framework on my first real coaching talk with a teammate and it went so much smoother than I expected.
The escalation module clarified something I always struggled with, when to just handle it myself versus loop in HR. Super clear now.
Finally a leadership course that doesn't feel like generic corporate fluff. The one-on-one template alone was worth it.
Very practical modules, especially the delegation one. I wish there was a bit more on managing remote team members specifically.
Good content overall, though a few lessons felt short and I wanted more example dialogue scripts to practice with.
Grace explains everything with real Filipino office scenarios, so it actually feels relevant instead of translated from a US textbook.
