The World Needs Better Leaders
David Novak Leadership, Inc. is a Section 501(c)(3) private operating foundation whose mission is to make the world a better place by developing better leaders at every stage of life.
"I truly believe that nothing big or game-changing can happen without a good leader. I also believe everyone has it in them to lead. That it’s not too early — nor too late — to learn how. Now, more than ever, the world needs inspired people like you to take the lead in making important things happen. Imagine the possibilities!”
From Preschool to the Pros
Developing a “Pipeline of Leaders” to meet today’s challenges.
We believe that everyone has the potential to be a great leader, no matter what age, background, career or ambition. That’s why every dollar we make goes back to serve the broader community of developing leaders.
We provide free or discounted leadership training to students and managers of other non-profit organizations, and support leadership development initiatives founded or sponsored by David Novak and his family, including Lead4Change, the Novak Leadership Institute at the University of Missouri and Global Game Changers.
