Leader Legion, Inc. was founded by Ed Tyson and Rob Heaton in the waning hours of 2023. It is a powerful community of effort bound by a singular vision: to demystify and digitally enhance leadership. Our initial product, the SOPsApp, is an AI-infused, social and mobile application designed for individual leaders. The SOPsApp is not a learning management system (LMS). It is a personal operating system designed to support the process of leading. It helps busy leaders define, prompt, measure, and refine their standard operating procedures for leading. The SOPsApp name is derived from the LeadershipSOPs® methodology and framework developed by Leader Legion Chief Executive Officer Ed Tyson.
