Future Leaders Network Vision
 

Our Vision, Mission and Values

Our vision

Our vision is to create a new cohort of effective, ethical leaders to deliver positive change in the world.

Our case for change

We know that leadership (especially good leadership) matters - at an individual, societal and a global level.

But current leadership development typically targets senior executives or mid-career professionals - too little, too late, at a huge cost for teams, communities and our planet.

We want to create a new cohort of effective, ethical leaders by equipping young people with the leadership experience, skills and network they need to deliver positive change in the world.

Mission

We believe that building a better future begins with young people.

To change leadership tomorrow, you need to work with young people today.

We:

  • Offer young people unique opportunities to build their leadership experience

  • Equip young people with the skills and knowledge they need to lead effectively

  • Create a community of young leaders who will go on to deliver change in the U.K.

Values

  • Diversity - we actively seek out and value a wide range of voices to ensure that our concept of leadership and the leaders we are supporting are reflective of the society they serve;

  • Discipline agnostic - the problems of tomorrow span multiple sectors and disciplines, so we actively curate leaders who are comfortable working across institutional or organisational boundaries, from science, business and politics to hospitality and retail;

  • Dialogue - we promote tolerance, debate and dialogue, because you only lead when you listen first;

  • Demand for action - because to make the world a better place, once you’ve listened you’ve got to use your knowledge, skills and experience to actively change something for the better;

  • Development - we believe that every opportunity is a leadership opportunity so we take every chance we can to reflect and learn; and

  • Disruption - we are willing to speak out when we see something is wrong or could be done better. We always value honesty and integrity over the status quo.
