Constant change, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled work and shifting employee expectations are impacting leaders at all levels, but first-level, middle and senior managers each face these challenges in different ways. For learning and development (L&D) teams tasked with helping leaders navigate complexity and deliver impact, context on where individual managers fit into the larger organization matters.

Recent research from Hemsley Fraser identifies 10 future-focused capabilities that all leaders and managers need — and the nuances that determine how those capabilities are best developed at different levels. At the heart of the organization, middle managers generally face the most challenges but can also deliver an outsized impact, the research shows. Learn how leading organizations support their leaders to not only build critical capabilities but also apply them in ways that advance organizational goals.

In this insightful and interactive session, we will explore:

  • The 10 future-focused capabilities that all leaders need and how to develop them at all management levels
  • How position and context shape a manager’s influence and performance, with a spotlight on squeezed and often overlooked middle managers
  • Practical lessons from leading organizations that are boosting leadership capabilities and impact
