It’s a challenging time to be a leader, and a challenging time to build leaders. Today, leaders at all levels must drive transformation as AI, geopolitical change and cost pressures reset organisational strategies. CEOs are looking to their CHROs to make sure leaders are reset-ready, and leadership development is the #1 CHRO focus area in 2025. Your teams have been busy. Half of organisations revamped their leadership development programs in 2024 and yet two-thirds of CHROs tell us that leaders are not ready for what’s next. What are we missing? While skill development is an important part of strengthening the leadership bench, it’s not HR’s biggest opportunity to improve leaders’ readiness for a perpetually uncertain future. There is untapped opportunity for CHROs to set the right conditions for leaders to make sense of changing conditions, reach decisions quickly, and accelerate their teams forward.

In this session, the second in the Gartner Unbreakable HR series, Gartner experts Jessie Knight and Shawn Campbell will discuss specific ways CHROs can boost the future-readiness of their leadership bench.

• Get techniques to prompt leader self-discovery and pressure testing with peers

• Learn about best practices to remove barriers to change and accelerate teams forward
