As part of an organized large-scale effort, the Maxwell Leadership Foundation is extending the opportunity to experience Values-Based Leadership Development to schools, districts and states across the United States.

Through iLead, the Maxwell Leadership Foundation serves students locally and internationally by providing educators with free access to digital iLead content along with primary and supplementary resources, tools and support.

Values-based leadership development emphasizes personal transformation as a pathway toward well-being and thriving and recognizes that personal transformation involves taking action reflective of good values. Wellbeing enhances intrinsic motivation, decreases disciplinary problems, increases academic achievement, improves school satisfaction, and leads to the flourishing of individuals, communities, and nations (Bueckner et al., 2018)

The iLead values are universal for all humankind. They translate across boundaries to bring people together, no matter their background.
