The Art of Great Leadership

Most businesses don’t fail from lack of ideas — they fail from lack of leadership. This course shows you how to step up from being a task-driven manager to a people-driven leader, so you can grow a business that thrives beyond you.



What you’ll learn

  • Choosing the Right Leadership Style: Learn when to act as the visionary, the coach, or the decision-maker… and why balance matters for business growth.
  • Communicating Impactfully: Discover how to rally people behind your vision and get buy-in without repeating yourself.
  • Leading for Results: Use leadership tools to hit goals the right way.
  • Guiding and Developing People: Build trust and help others step up so you’re not doing everything alone.
  • Clear Decision Making: Handle tough calls with clarity instead of second-guessing yourself.
  • Thriving Under Pressure: Lead with confidence when challenges hit, and turn setbacks into growth moments.
  • Leading Yourself: Strengthen your resilience and habits so your business doesn’t outgrow you.

Starting a business is one thing. Leading people is another.

Many entrepreneurs quickly discover that the skills that helped them launch — grit, hustle, wearing every hat — don’t necessarily help them scale.

At some point, you’ll need to inspire others and delegate effectively. That’s where most first-time founders get stuck.

Maybe you’ve asked yourself:

  • How do I get my team to see and believe in my vision?
  • How can I delegate predictably?
  • What do I do when I’m faced with tough calls?

This course is designed to answer those questions.

In The Art of Great Leadership, leadership coach and author Steven Howard helps you bridge the gap between being a good manager of tasks and becoming a great leader of people.

You’ll learn skills every entrepreneur needs to build a business that thrives, not collapses without you.

From communication strategies to decision-making tools, this course gives you the leadership foundation to take your business where you envision.

Because the truth is simple: your business can only grow as far as you do.
