    Enlisted Leadership Foundation is a San Diego based non-profit dedicated to leadership development of armed forces Enlisted Leaders. E.L.F. was formed by a team of active duty and retired Navy Command and Master Chief Petty Officers to build up and fine tune current and future leaders through a philosophy of sharing and mentoring based on combined generations of growth and grooming.

    Leadership Navigation best describes our mission. John Maxwell’s forth leadership law is The Law of Navigation: The secret to the Law of Navigation is preparation. When you prepare well, you convey confidence and trust to people. Leaders who are good navigators are capable of taking their people just about anywhere (John Maxwell’s, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership). Over a combined 200 years of documented leadership experience has been used to construct the programs below to navigate Enlisted Leaders towards successful leadership. Participants of our programs cover the spectrum from minimal leadership experience to many years of experience. Some participate looking to learn to lead, others to hone leadership acumen, and some to figure out what they are not doing right. But all thirst to be better leaders.

    Our mission: “To cultivate Enlisted Leaders who deliver character, trust, confidence, and empathy.”

    We do this through four signature programs:

    – Leading Petty Officer Academy leadership growth workshop for enlisted E5.

    – The Foundry leadership class for enlisted E6.

    – Chief Petty Officer Legacy Academy for Chief Petty Officer Selectees (a “selectee” is a Navy First Class Petty Officer/E6 selected for advancement to Chief Petty Officer).

    – Chief Petty Officer Pride Day

    – Partner opportunities to maintain Navy enlisted force heritage and traditions
