The fifth MOOC in this specialization is called Be a Leader, Develop a Leader.It is a five week course or longer if you need more time for the assignments but no longer than seven weeks to complete the assignments and submit them for peer assessment. You are required to complete four assignments. The first and fourth address being a leader and the second and third address developing others as leaders.

The objectives of the MOOC enable you to learn from applying concepts, exercises and learning from the first four MOOCs in this specialization. Learners involved in our programs over the decades have repeatedly told us that going over the material several times helps them progressively delve into the meaning and application of the ideas and experiences. As a result, we have designed this capstone so that it would be the third iteration of working with three ideas and experiences about effective leadership and inspiring its development in others. The fist iteration was during one of the MOOCs in terms of the videos, readings, Forum chats and reflective exercises. The second iteration was doing one of the personal and action learning assignments in each of these prior MOOCs, submitting your write up about each for review. This, the third iteration, will give you the opportunity to continue to practice the ideas, methods and approaches addressed in the previous MOOCs. .
