'Management essentials' | Google makes play for multi-billion dollar leadership development market

Google has launched itself into the booming leadership development sector, with a new course offering its management training to the public for the first time.

The program, called People Management Essentials, was developed by The Google School for Leaders and designed to help aspiring and early-career managers build high-performing teams.

The leadership development program market is reported to be a multi-billion dollar industry.

The self-paced course translates two decades of Google’s research into practical techniques for people leadership, including coaching, feedback, and performance management. Participants also learn how to integrate artificial intelligence into day-to-day management tasks.
