The Maverick mission

Maverick Manager was designed and developed by us – Mavericks Unlimited, a leadership, change and innovation consultancy working with some of the best brands and businesses around the world.

Our mission is pretty simple – to make work better. For most of us, work is the biggest slice of the ‘life pie’ so how work is, affects, or even determines, how life is.

So much of the work world is broken and we’re all about mending it and building new things for a better future.

We believe that looking after the emotional needs of people enables them to see and embrace new possibilities, grow their confidence and become unstuck. This can transform ways of being, bring a sense of well-being, hope and optimism. This is when great things happen.

Our Maverick Manager principles

Collective collaboration starts with great relationships.

‘Power with’ beats ‘power over’.

Embrace authenticity to create trust, belonging and respect for difference.

Happy at work contributes to happy in life.

Our origin story

Maverick Manager was the brain child of our co-founder Hasan Khair (aka ‘Has’). It was borne from the challenge of no longer being able to deliver the training in-person, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Has led the creation of the courses during a lockdown.

The training came from a desire to support ‘accidental managers’ who may have been promoted for their talents but lack the whole new skill set to manage people well.
