Founding Fellows Cohort 2026

Leadership Everywhere Global Initiative™

Leadership is not a position. Leadership is a human capacity.

We believe leadership literacy should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, background, profession, or educational pathway.

Leadership Literacy

A practical capacity for everyday life.

Just as literacy empowers people to read and write, leadership literacy empowers people to navigate uncertainty, build meaningful relationships, solve problems, and contribute positively to society.

The Leadership Everywhere Global Initiative™ was established to cultivate a new generation of thoughtful, ethical, and service-oriented leaders who understand that leadership is not reserved for those with titles. It can be practiced by anyone, anywhere, every day.
