What Is iLead?

iLead is John Maxwell’s values-based leadership development designed specifically for students. This program combines John’s proven content with a peer-to-peer process. Students practice leadership as they are learning it.

Why iLead?

Is the climate in your school struggling? Do students need help finding their voice or connecting with one another? Do you simply want a better future for your youth? iLead’s peer-to-peer process provides an environment for students to develop authentic relationships. The program helps youth be intentional in learning and living good leadership values.

I’m a Teacher/Parent/Youth Leader. How Do I Use iLead?

iLead works best in small groups of 4-6 students, preferably once a week, during a course. It is unique, being peer-to-peer. Registering adults act as a sponsor (See Sponsor Guide under Resources). Sponsors train students to be facilitators (See Student Facilitator Guide under Resources). Content is accessed for FREE digitally (after registration) or printed at your own cost. Students submit a pre and post assessment, and the sponsor is asked to submit attendance. The assessments and attendance records help iLead program developers. They track the effectiveness of the program. They also help with future improvements.

Empowering Through Peer-to-Peer Leadership

"Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another," says John Maxwell. This principle is at the heart of iLead, where students not only learn leadership concepts but also practice them in real-time with their peers. The peer-to-peer approach cultivates empathy, teamwork, and accountability, preparing youth to thrive in diverse environments. By actively engaging in discussions and activities, students develop the skills needed to inspire and lead with integrity, regardless of their background or starting point.

Creating Impactful Leaders for a Better Future

"Everything rises and falls on leadership," Maxwell emphasizes. iLead equips students with values-based leadership skills that extend beyond the classroom. Participants learn to solve problems collaboratively, communicate effectively, and make ethical decisions. As they apply these principles, students become agents of change in their schools and communities. Teachers and parents report noticeable improvements in confidence, relationship-building, and academic performance, underscoring the transformative impact of the program.

A Proven Model for Leadership Success

Maxwell shares why he and his foundation developed iLead and its practical framework and accessible resources. "I add value to leaders who multiply my value to others. Because once you influence a leader, you influence all the people that the leader influences ." With free access to digital materials, easy-to-follow guides, and measurable outcomes, iLead ensures its effectiveness while removing barriers to implementation. By using iLead, you invest in a future led by confident, ethical, and visionary leaders.
