About Jeff Spahn
Jeffrey Spahn is the founder and president of Leading Leaders Inc. For more than 20 years he has researched, coached and inspired top business executives and their teams through the distinctive collective leadership process of We the Leader®.
Jeff’s journey into leading leaders was sparked by experiences of collective flow in high school and as a letterman on the University of Michigan football team. His business degree from the University of Michigan and doctorate from the University of Chicago ground his practice in sound scholarship.

From here, he went deep into the training at the renowned Second City school of improvisation. Furthermore, along with conducting original research on the purpose of business Jeff taught MBA students at Dominican University. Above all, through working with clients including industry leaders such as Capital Group, Steelcase and Encova he forged the organic diversity, equity and inclusive operating system called We the Leader.

What Readers
Are Saying
A new and radical leadership model.
"We The Leader is a seismic shift in the theory and practice of leadership. Jeff has created a new and radical leadership model for the leader of the future - one that requires agility, innovation, trust, and flexibility."
- Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times #1 bestselling author of Triggers, Mojo, and What Got You Here Won’t Get You There and the only two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world.
What you find in these pages works.
"It is exciting for me to see the progression of Jeff’s thinking into We The Leader. I know from having worked with Jeff closely over the past 6 years that what you find in these pages works. The structure of We The Leader combined with regular skill building and practice create a road map for leveraging more of what people bring to work. Two obvious outcomes are better problem solving and better performance against metrics. While the model is based upon collective leadership, the senior leader has to endorse and engage in the process for it to work. The result is a combination of more and better leadership throughout the organization."
- Rob Burch, President and CEO, Kindel Grand Rapids

Creating and sustaining a culture where everyone leads and follows regardless of title will impact an organization’s creativity, inclusiveness, and the ability to execute projects, initiatives, and objectives effectively and efficiently”.

Puts us on the critical path to discover and act...
"For the last 30 years we have made little progress in the authentic engagement of our people and the successful execution of our most vital business strategies. As leaders, we must find a better way to engage the hearts and minds of our people. Spahn’s We the Leader, puts us on the critical path to discover and act on that better way!"
- Jim Haudan, Former CEO and Co-Founder Root Inc., author of The Art of Engagement and co-author of Leadership Blind Spots
This is more than just a philosophical inquiry...
"Winning firms are different from the norm. The difference comes from the way people and teams act out their leadership role. In this refreshing approach, Jeff Spahn asks some demanding questions and in turn turns our traditional view of the hierarchical leader upside down. This is more than just a philosophical inquiry – it is a call to action to release leadership talent at all levels to realize new value, energy and excitement!"
- Steve Mostyn, Associate Fellow Saïd Business School University of Oxford, Honorary Professor Adam Smith School of Business Glasgow University
