Leading Teams in 2026 – Surfing waves of change

As organisations navigate rapid, ongoing change, the expectations placed on leaders are shifting. Today, HR and L&D teams are being asked to build leadership capability that strengthens engagement, psychological safety and resilience - even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Our latest Team Effectiveness in the Workplace 2026 report highlights a significant movement towards more human‑centric leadership. Empathy and compassion are emerging as powerful drivers of team performance and wellbeing, cutting across industries, functions and seniority levels.

In this webinar, we’ll translate these insights into practical, evidence‑based guidance you can apply directly within your organisation. You’ll gain a clear view of the leadership habits that matter most right now - and how to develop them in a way that supports sustainable, strengths‑based cultures.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• The rise of the empathetic, compassionate leader – why human-centric strengths are climbing the ranks.
• How leadership profiles differ across industries, functions and seniority – and what this means for leadership development strategies.
• Leveraging leadership habit data to support team and organisational development through change.
