Launched in 2008, Leaders is the premium global network and content platform for executives working in professional sport. They connect people and ideas across the globe to drive professional sport forward both on and off the field. Their partners include the NBA, Premier League, La Liga, Facebook, Nielsen, Abu Dhabi Sports Council and the Australian Institute of Sport.
They’re a brilliant bunch of pioneers. We’ve loved working with them and their members across the globe. From the start in 2016 it’s felt like a true partnership. It’s evolved too, with collaboration across a variety of services including:
- Coaching
- Facilitation
- Team Development
- Leadership Skills Training
- Diversity, Equity and Inclusion workshops
In 2021 MF are proud to be official partners of the Leaders Meet Diversity Series with Facebook.
We asked some of the Leaders team to share their thoughts on MF...
“Sometimes the world ‘partnership’ is over used, often describing a business relationship that isn’t that special. Not so with Management Futures. We clicked immediately. We share the same passions, we live the same values, we both have complementary skills and we both want to make a difference to every client we work with. Over 6 years the partnership has blossomed to the point where Management Futures are embedded in our business; as friends, mentors, as trusted advisors and, of course, as brilliant professionals at the forefront of developing people and teams.”
Jimmy Worrall, Founder and Chair
“The partnership with Management Futures has been critical to Leaders over the last five years. Their expertise have enabled us to deliver professional skills and development to our clients that always exceeds their expectations.
They have had a profound impact on the team internally at Leaders who continuously learn and evolve based on the relationship they have with the team at MF.
Most importantly of all, they are incredibly enjoyable to work with. Every one of them."
Laura McQueen, Managing Director
“There are many partners you’ll work with in any business, but there are very few that truly feel part of the team and you can trust implicitly. They are kind, caring, considered and fun to work with, which always makes working with them, something to look forward to. They are incredibly professional, and their delivery is exceptional, which shines through in the outcomes that are achieved. The feedback we receive from our members is always fantastic, both qualitative and quantifiably and we are always looking for opportunities together to maximise what both businesses bring to the table to drive more vale for everyone. In summary, they are first class partner.”
Oliver Escritt, Head of Memberships
“Management Futures have been an integral part of the training and development programmes we run in the Sport Business field. They’re exceptional in their ability to create environments that facilitate practical learning, both physically and virtually, and are unmatched in the expertise they bring in disciplines from leadership to culture.
The entire MF team are always a pleasure to work with, and continually elevate the level of our work in this area – I look forward to our continued working relationship.”
Rob Reid, Head of Strategic Partnerships
“Having the opportunity to work, collaborate and learn from MF over the last few years has not just been a pleasure, but so impactful in terms of how we review and evolve our product offerings. Their perspectives on contemporary learning and organisational development, informed by current research and evidence-based content is industry-leading, and our relationship provides a perfect balance of support and challenge in how we design and deliver thought-provoking, immersive learning experiences for the elite sporting organisations we work with.”
Luke Whitworth, Senior Product Manager and Community Manager
“Working with MF has been an absolute pleasure, personally watching and working with Tim, Shona, Sarah & co, has aided my professional development immensely, from stakeholder management, execution of deliverables, and an attitude of always going above & beyond. The biggest lesson, and where the most value has been served for me, and something MF constantly demonstrates, is working with a smile!”
