Raising the Bar for Management

About this event

We keep raising the bar for managers – but how do we support them to reach it?

A live 45-minute demo showing what great management actually requires, and how Thomas Connection Intelligence (CXI) gives managers the visibility to build it without relying on instinct.

You've probably got a great manager somewhere in your business. But what if all your people could be great managers?

Managers are expected to deliver great performance while juggling competing priorities and a team that's often just as stretched as they are. And that’s a problem, because while subject-matter expertise gets them into the role, it isn't often what makes them good at it. Most are left to work out an entirely new set of skills on their own.

Falling manager engagement is now one of the biggest drivers behind the recent global decline in engagement (Gallup, 2026), with it dropping five points in 2025 alone. Even the best managers are struggling. In this session, we'll explore what “great” management actually requires, and why it isn't realistic to expect managers to build it alone. Live in the Thomas CXI platform, you'll see how you can support your managers to deliver their best performance, without adding more fuel to the burnout fire.

Leave with a clear strategy for supporting both your managers and their teams to perform at their best. You’ll understand how to spot where a team's connection is strong, where it's under strain, and how giving your people the right tools to understand each other can make a difference across your business.

What you'll learn:

  • What “great” management actually requires, before subject-matter expertise even counts
  • How to build stronger team culture without leaving it to chance
  • How to get real visibility into team connection, and how that aids performance
  • How to develop new managers and high performers, live in the Thomas CXI platform

For 45 years, Thomas has asked one question: what will this person do next?
Organisations that answer that question better than their competitors will outperform the ones that don't.
We own the science. We've done research. We have proof.
Go from static assessment to predictive, continuous insight.
