We Believe Everyone Deserves to be Led Well.
Growing Leaders Powered by Maxwell Leadership Foundation
Decades of Impact = Millions of Lives Transformed
Since 2003, Growing Leaders has rallied around one audacious mission: ignite the potential inside every emerging leader. Founded by Dr. Tim Elmore and powered by the proven principles of John C. Maxwell, we partner with schools, universities, and youth-focused organizations worldwide to turn classrooms, clubs, and community spaces into vibrant “Transformation Tables.” Through iLead—our research-driven, peer-to-peer curriculum—and a suite of events, coaching tools, and parent and educator resources, we deliver unforgettable stories, striking visuals, and hands-on experiences that translate leadership theory into daily practice. From the first lesson, students learn to lead themselves, then multiply that influence in their careers and communities, building character that lasts long after grades are posted. Join us and watch your students trade passive learning for purposeful action—because when the next generation leads well, everyone wins.
