“My mission is to build a legion of leaders so that my daughters grow up in a better world.”
Yigal believes the world gets better when people step up.
When leaders take ownership, develop others, care about the people they lead, and raise the standard around them, the impact doesn't stop at work. It spreads.
That is why Leaderato exists.
He doesn't just teach leadership. He develops leaders.
Yigal Adato is the Founder of Leaderato.
For more than 25 years, Yigal has been developing leaders, building businesses, and leading real people through real challenges. He didn't build Leaderato from a textbook. He learned leadership by doing it. And he discovered something simple: Leadership isn't taught nearly enough. People get promoted. They get responsibility. They get a team. Then they're expected to figure out how to lead. Leaderato was built to change that.
Yigal doesn't believe leaders need more information. He believes they need development, application, accountability, and someone invested enough to challenge them along the way. He doesn't just want to make your managers better leaders. He wants to develop the people behind them.
