Step 1 is not using a gantt chart to create some illusory impression of knowing exactly how complex projects will unfold.
Eh, I would say creating one (or something similar) is a useful exercise to help break up large tasks and think more thoroughly about how to split work within a team. It also helps to highlight possible bottlenecks and is a useful visualization so everyone on the team is on the same page.

#12All of my leadership experience is 1) outside of tech, and 2) not remote oriented. Now that I have some experience as a coder under my belt (~5 years), I'd love to get some training on remote leadership styles and perhaps lead a team and make something useful.

Wouldn't that just be a dependency graph?

What is the difference between a Gantt chart and a dependency graph?

your comment history luckily proves you are not a sock puppet :) but this comment is still suspiciously smooth
and how does he know the course is worth doing since only classes 0, 1, 2 of 14 are released.

#19People have a tendency to classify some what complicated tasks as art or science. Leading a project is neither science nor art.

So I disagree: there is Art and Science to, well, most things; including leading projects.
