Organisations are placing elevated expectations on leaders and managers, demanding multifaceted skillsets and enhanced adaptability in an ever-changing business landscape to guide teams toward successful outcomes. However, a Gartner study reveals that 75% of HR leaders say that their managers are overwhelmed by the growth of their job responsibilities and 73% say that these managers are not equipped with the skills to lead change. Rather than only enforcing more training and skill development programs, CHROs must create a strategic vision to enhance manager capability and effectiveness in meeting rapidly evolving business expectations.
In this interactive conversation among peers, CHROs will discuss and debate solutions to level up leadership and empower managers to successfully lead amid ongoing uncertainty and disruption.
