Organizations 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.
Topic 1: Creating Effective Manager Development Pathways
- What factors contribute to the success or failure of your current manager development initiatives?
- Have you integrated technology or other innovative methods to ensure leadership development programs stay relevant?
- What key performance indicators do you use to measure the success of your manager development initiatives?
Topic 2: Evolving the Job Itself and Resetting Role Expectations
- What key skills do you believe are currently lacking in managers in your organization? How do you address this gap?
- What strategies have you put in place to empower managers to connect employees with others for coaching and development?
- When faced with changes, how do you enable your managers to adapt and guide their teams through transitions?
