Mammut Sports Group AG’s Post

Great to attend the Non-Executive Director Awards yesterday at Claridge's. The lifetime achievement award went to Sir Nigel Rudd who did a great speech on what being a good chair means (right strategy and CEO), some funny anecdotes on AGMs and Committee meetings but perhaps most profoundly talked about always feeling like an outsider. Being from Derby (nothing wrong with that!), not particularly enjoying networking and feeling Davos is best for skiing. I think there is something powerful about being on the outside. An outsider is not a strange person without friends. Instead, they are someone who challenges accepted values and wisdom. An insider adopts the accepted standards, an outsider challenges and changes those standards. An outsider is more likely to be more curious, insightful, questioning and healthily suspicious so the board does not become an echo chamber. An outsider does not interfere in management’s role but equally should not be a step removed the often termed ‘nose not hands in the tent’ is the balance to aim for. Outsiders have a unique advantage in framing issues by drawing on a range of experiences. They are also more likely to be attune to signals of wider cultural failings. Being an outsider sounds like a pretty good advantage to being a NED to me. Congratulations to all who made the event a huge success. #governance #boardmembers

𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗻-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 🌟 Reflecting on a recent evening at the Allianz Arena München Stadion GmbH during a Champions League match, I was struck by the powerful lesson in customer centricity from the perspective of passionate fans. Positioned above the bustling 'Südkurve', witnessing the energy of FC Bayern München fans and Copenhagen guests reinforced a crucial point: the raw, unfiltered feedback from fans exemplifies the essence of customer response. In these moments, it becomes abundantly clear how vital it is for us as leaders, communicators, and crisis managers to never lose sight of whom our decisions impact — the devoted enthusiasts investing time, money, and energy in their favorite products or topics. They deserve our attentive ears, prompt solutions, unwavering support in times of need, and our absolute best, every single day. Let's pledge to keep their voices at the forefront of every decision, ensuring their unwavering dedication is met with our absolute best. Are you ready to elevate your leadership game by embracing a fan-centric approach? 🚀 #FanCentricLeadership #CustomerCentric #CustomerExperience #LeadershipLessons

What Can We Learn from Real Madrid's Triumph? This past Saturday, Real Madrid C.F. celebrated an extraordinary achievement, winning their 15th Champions League. This victory is an example of exceptional leadership and team management, elements that are as crucial in business as they are in football. Florentino Pérez, the club's president, has exemplified outstanding strategic vision and management, guiding Real Madrid to unparalleled success. His ability to blend financial acumen with a deep understanding of the club's culture has been instrumental in creating a winning formula. Equally significant is the leadership within the team, embodied by Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti's approach goes beyond mere tactics; he has transformed the team into a family. This familial bond fosters trust, unity, and a shared sense of purpose, which are vital for sustained success. His leadership is a powerful reminder that at the core of any great team, whether in sports or business, are strong, personal relationships. The greatness of Real Madrid doesn't stop with this victory. Their relentless pursuit of excellence is further demonstrated by their recent announcement of Kylian Mbappé joining the team. This move underscores their commitment to continuous improvement and staying at the pinnacle of the sport. In football, as in business, leadership, team management, vision, strategy, and execution are the pillars of success. Real Madrid's journey is a compelling example of how these elements come together to create a legacy. As we celebrate our triumph, we are reminded that true leadership is about inspiring and elevating those around you. Hala Madrid, como no te voy a querer. #Leadership #TeamManagement #RealMadrid #Success #ContinuousImprovement #Inspiration

Behind the Scenes: Our Culture and Values Workshops While the European Football Championship recently crowned its champion, we at #WeAreMibauStema have been playing our own special game over the past few weeks—not on the field, but in workshops dedicated to our culture and values. ⚽📝 We've been working intensively to develop the best strategies for our collective success, focusing on defining and strengthening our "We Culture." Julian Nagelsmann, coach of the German men's national football team, couldn't have summed up the mission of our #CultureAndValues better in his closing press conference: Let's just do it together! 🤝 Just like a football team, our team is made up of diverse personalities. For a collective to function, everyone must find their role within the group—this is true in sports, at work, and in society. Clear communication, necessary compromises, and bold decisions are crucial for us to pursue and achieve our goals together as a team. 💯 A cultural evolution is needed, where the focus is not on individual performance but on togetherness. The "I" becomes "We." Only when we are united in our goals and convictions will our teamwork be strong and our success sustainable. Our integrated value chain of production, logistics and sales plays a key role in this 🚀 👉 Learn more about our values: https://lnkd.in/dbYJgZsy

The definition of a leader! Toni Kroos!! I get tears in my eyes when I see him play. The German Machine and a perfect symbol of a great leader. Everything he does on the pitch is comparable to life and business. Germany might not produce a lot of Messis, Ronaldos, Mbappes or Ballon d’Or winners, but when they manage to build teams historically they are great! So what is it with Toni Kroos that is so special??? He is not the fastest, does not drible or pass defenders. Anyway he manages to magistrate everything that happens. In both games yet in the European Championship he was always available with a passing accuracy of 99%. At this level!!!! He is constantly thinking about how he can make his teammates shine. He is the mirror image of a true leader. Using his own skills and experiences making sure that all his coworkers/players reach their maximum potential governing totally the complete effort of the team! In the process he never tries to do something he might not be capable of. Will he take Germany all the way once again?? The country certainly needs it. Many might say it is “only football”, but it is actually a very proven fact that such Championship wins have an enourmous impact on societies, positive thinking amongst the people boosting overall performance in general. This - we also need…..

6 years ago I made the big move to Munich. I applied for over 100 jobs in 1 year to land a job here. • 100+ applications • 15+ call-backs • 3 onsite interviews • 1 offer • 365 sleepless nights    But the perseverance paid off. And now I’m celebrating... You see, yesterday, the Euro Cup kicked off in Munich. And I got to fulfill my dream… Being at the heart of a Europe wide football celebration ⚽ The only cheat code you need is determination. === Just because it took me 1 year to land a job, doesn’t mean it needs to be the same for you. Two of my clients had 6 figure offers on their table within 2 months of working with me. In my Breaking Into Leadership group course, I teach senior engineers my winning strategy on how to land a leadership job in 90 days. You don't have to get lucky. You just need to be strategic. I'll get you there. DM me “Mission” and I’ll send you the details. 🏁 P.S. Be quick - Spots are going fast.

Having come back from Barcelona and seeing some more of Gaudí’s work, I’m sure he wasn’t good at everything he touched, although it sometimes feels that way.  Recognising someone's talent and playing to their strengths is a fundamental aspect of effective leadership and personal development. It involves acknowledging an individual's unique skills and abilities, and then creating opportunities that allow them to excel in those areas. By doing so, not only can we harness their full potential, but we also foster a sense of fulfilment and motivation within them. This approach not only benefits the individual but can also lead to increased productivity and success in various tasks, whether in a professional or personal context. It's a win-win strategy that promotes both personal growth and the achievement of collective goals. #growthmindset #talent #recognistion #gaudi

Embrace Tough Calls: Lessons from Erik ten Hag's Bold Moves In a world of tough decisions, Erik Ten Hag's fearless choices as Manchester United's manager stand out. Legends like Ronaldo and De Gea departed - a bold move, but a necessary one. No one should eclipse the team. Progress demands change. Retailers, heed the lesson: Don't be held back. Embrace change for a brighter future. #Retail #Sales #SavetheHighStreet #LoveYourTeam

Successful leadership isn’t only about the people who do the leading. A team’s success equally depends on the composition of the group that’s working towards the common goal and if the leadership and their team are a good match for each other. In other words: If they can can create cultural cohesion. “Smart clubs don’t just hire successful managers in hopes that they possess some innate knowledge of how to win. They’re careful to match a coach’s tactics to the players they already have, knowing that changing styles will cost them money and time.”
