It was great intro for me to learn the management skills an engineering manager should possess! I would have also liked some tools or frameworks which could help to measure my or my teams performance against set goals.

Would be interesting to have hand-outs with the examples and templates discussed in the videos.

I couldn't get past the first couple of videos: the presentation felt very amateur and unprofessional, there was no useful content, and the music in the background was very distracting. There are much better courses available on the topic from various universities.
