"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.

We Teach How.
How Leaders Lead with David Novak is the leading leadership podcast that shares stories and insights from the world’s most accomplished leaders. And our courses, books and workshops teach aspiring leaders in the workplace how to leave their mark, too.

David Novak knows a thing or two about leadership.
