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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are the lessons delivered?

Upon enrolling in The Art of Great Leadership, you will have immediate access to all eight modules. It is recommended that you view the modules in the sequence presented, but if you have a specific need for the content of any particular module you can definitely watch that module first!

Do I have to download the workbook?

The workbook and learning journal is not mandatory, though it is HIGHLY recommended that you download and use this. It contains a wealth of supplemental information to accompany the material in each video module.

In addition, the workbook contains practical exercises for you to complete to help you gain familiarity and experience in using the various best-practice tools provided. There are also questions at the end of each module to help you reflect on what you have learned and how you want to implement the tips and techniques provided.

.

How much time do I need to devote to this program?

Each online educational module is 60-75 minutes in length, so that is about eight to nine hours of instructional content. There is another two to three hours of work assignments to be completed in the workbook. Plus the workbook and learning journal contains three reflection questions at the end of each module.

So in total, approximately 10 to 12 hours is your time commitment, or approximately equivalent to one full working day for most leaders.

The monthly group coaching calls will run for 60-90 minutes each month, depending on the number of participants, questions, and participation.

How do I ask questions about course content if these are recorded videos?

You may email me ([email protected]) with any course content questions you have. I will reply within 48 hours.

Additionally, you will be encourage to bring up any course content questions, suggestions, ideas, and examples during our monthly group coaching sessions – for the benefit of all other participants embarking on a similar leadership development journey as you.

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!
