SpeakEasy Brunch 16th July
Rising to Lead: Insights from our International Survey on First-Time Managers
Wednesday 16th July | 9-11am | Central London
Join us for an engaging brunch in the city for great food, interesting people and interactive discussion.
As work transforms, the pressure on new leaders is rising. Hybrid teams, accelerating tech, growing pressure on performance and purpose are reshaping how we lead and right at the heart of this transformation? First-time managers
We wanted to understand what it really takes to succeed as a new manager in today’s world. So we asked over 4,000 first-time managers and 400 HR leaders across 10 countries: What’s working? What’s not? And what do tomorrow’s leaders need today?
The result? A global snapshot of a generation of managers stepping into leadership with ambition, clarity, and growing pressure. For L&D teams, the message is clear: if we want strong leaders tomorrow, we need to better support them today.
At this event, we’ll unpack the key findings from our international barometer: what motivates new managers, where the biggest challenges lie, and what organisations can do to build confidence, capability, and long-term performance.
