Course Description

The best thing about leadership is working with people. The worst thing about leadership is working with people.

Depending on the day you may agree with one of the statements more than another. Some days it seems like a roller coaster where you go back and forth between "I love leading others" to "Leading others is so frustrating."

While there are many components to leadership such as process improvement so much revolves around your ability to lead people...as in human beings...and leading humans is hard. For those who want to lead and make a greater impact, leading people effectively is essential, so if you are going to lead you might as well be good at it.

THIS FOCUSED COURSE WILL HELP YOU TO BECOME A BETTER LEADER AND/OR MANAGER OF PEOPLE QUICKLY!

Instructor Details

Steve Ballinger, MBA

A VIP Udemy Instructor Partner who has helped more than 1 million learners in 220+ countries build practical skills for work

My focus is helping professionals use ChatGPT and AI with more confidence, clarity, and practical purpose. I’m also in the top 3% of ChatGPT users worldwide (According to OpenAI) which means I spend a lot of hands-on time testing what actually works in real use and not just chasing the latest AI hype. 

Many people know AI is important, but they feel overwhelmed by the constant updates, confusing features, and pressure to keep up. They wonder: What should I actually use AI for? Am I prompting it correctly? How do I avoid generic answers? What is safe to put into AI? How do I avoid losing my own judgment? 

That is where I can help. 

My style is friendly, practical, and engaging. I like to make complex topics feel simple, useful, and even fun. Instead of flooding you with theory or buzzwords, I focus on real workplace problems turning scattered thoughts into useful next steps. 

My courses are designed to be clear, practical, and easy to apply. Instead of overwhelming you with theory or technical jargon, I focus on examples, prompts, workflows, and step-by-step demonstrations you can actually use.

The course so far is excellent. Very informative and great points to think about for any leader/manager and employees looking to understand and work with each other better. Steve is a great speaker and he creates a great learning environment that is captivating

By Joel Repouille on 6/20/2025

Very basic and introductory lessons on leadership that doesn't go much further than what's listed on the screen already most times. Good for people who have no exposure. I felt like it could have used more case studies.

By Anonymized User on 11/12/2024

I am yet to go through the complete course, but so far, I loved his style of communicating. It feels like he is talking to me, there is warmth. Points are wonderful & practical. So far, I have enjoyed the course a lot.

By Doris 'Dodie' Schadlich on 3/13/2024

Easy to follow and laid out in a logical way. I was able to take notes for future reference. I found I would reflect on my own situation after each course section and how to apply in my real life.

By Casey Brooks on 2/6/2024

So far, this information is validating of actions I'm taking as a manager. I'm hoping the material builds into deeper support, and touches on managing in difficult situations or managing distributed teams.

By Andrew Sorensen on 9/20/2023

I really liked this course. As a team leader getting more responsibilities managing others, this was helpful in closing some gaps I have in what to expect from others when leading.

By Kim Charles on 9/6/2023

This course has thought me that ethics always win as well as being honest, Being a leader can have its challenges but once a relationship is built with your team it can be a wonderful experience

By Rachel Clark on 8/21/2023

This was a quick course on management that gave me a few things to think about as I begin my journey to supervising others. I hope to take some of the things I learned in this course and apply them when I begin this new role.

By Shakil Muhimtule on 7/16/2023

The content itself is very good and practical but it would be good if presentation would have been with slides and images etc. This will help to jump easily at the required area while reviewing the course.

By Anonymized User on 3/12/2023

The speaker is very articulate and makes it easy to follow along and take notes. I am learning a lot of information that is new to me as well as expanding on what I already do know.
