WHY

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)

WHAT

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