We know managing your business and developing your leaders is challenging. 

That’s why we developed LeadFirst, a leadership operating system that equips you to integrate your values, business management, and leadership development.​ 

Integrated Systems

Four decades of hard-won experience growing and scaling  companies taught us that the daily business operating system and learning system must be dependent on each other to succeed.

Stimulates Growth

We integrated the best qualities of business operating and leadership development systems into the first faith-driven leadership operating system. That results in more effective on-the-job leadership development.

Mentor-Led Approach

Our mentor-led approach equips you to train your people and manage your business within one powerful technology platform. Learning is introduced sooner, applied on the job, and reinforced over the long term.​
