​Founded in 2017, Leadership First has grown into a vibrant community for 6.5 million leaders from around the globe! For many years, work felt like just a way to earn a living rather than an opportunity to make a real difference. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Our workplaces can be so much more fulfilling, and it’s up to leaders like you to help your team find joy in what they do while encouraging them to reach for their dreams. In the 21st century, effective leadership is all about connecting with people and inspiring them to believe that anything is possible!

We truly believe that work can be enjoyable for everyone, and it all starts with great leadership. Our mission is to support every leader in building an amazing organization where people love to contribute!
Join our 6.5M+ community of leaders, share your expertise, and let’s change the leadership status quo to help inspire and motivate our people not just to make a living but to make a difference.
