Helping You Become A Great Leader
I am Steven Howard, an award-winning leadership author and coach turning good managers into great leaders and it is my pleasure to produce this 8-part online leadership training program for you.
I designed and developed this online leadership development and learning program for two reasons:
Research consistently shows that the large majority of new supervisors and managers fail to make an effective transition from being an individual contributor to a leadership role, and
To help those of you who have started your own businesses — or plan to — be great leaders in your businesses.
The objective of this online leadership development program is simple: to help you improve your current skills as a good manager or leader and develop those skills so that you can become a great leader. A leader who is admired. A leader who is trusted. A leader who people look to for motivation, coaching, and direction.
It is time that those of you who do not work in large, Fortune 1000 type companies and organizations are given an opportunity to learn best-practice leadership skills.
It is time, for the benefit of the companies and organizations you work for, as well as for yourself, that you become a great leader. So I thank you for joining me on this journey.

I feel very fortunate to have Steven as my coach and mentor. He exhibits a great deal of patience and he listens thoroughly to my situations and issues before responding. I really like the way he gives me pointers and questions first to help me think through possible solutions, rather than just rushing to tell me what to do. He is a great sounding board and when he does provide advice and tips, they are both practical and things that he knows I can implement. I am very pleased to recommend him to others. Thanks Steven!
