I think this section covers the real nuts and bolts of the Black Belt role, leading your project team to success. Your team working together is what is going to make the project a success, but without proper leadership that will not happen. This course teaches you how to put together the right team and guide them through the process, working with each other, not against each other. Great stuff!
