Criteria Notes
You work in the sports industry. We’re committed to helping our members create career critical relationships within the sports industry and therefore you must work for a rights holder, broadcaster, brand, agency or service provider to the sports industry, to be eligible to join. We want to create a world where collaboration delivers success and drives the sports industry forward and therefore The Leaders Club is non job-function specific.
You’re a line-manager, or have previously managed people or teams // You’re a leader of projects in a matrix management structure // You’re a high performing individual contributor. We’re focused on creating a new generation of leaders, who are equipped to catylse positive change in the industry. As many of our events are focused on skills development we want members to be able to learn and share with others who are experiencing similar leadership journey’s, to make the learning as rich as possible. You’re a high performing individual contributor. If members aren’t managing people then they’re responsible for a certain function within a team or own projects. They’re often collaborating across functions and teams, using their experience and specialised skills to influence others without having positional authority.
