Manager Capability in 2026: Practical Actions for Business Stability

In 2026, many organisations are operating in a climate of uncertainty - restructures, slower hiring, tighter scrutiny on efficiency, and expanding role expectations - meaning performance is increasingly coming from strengthening the managers you already have rather than adding headcount.<br/><br/>This 40-minute session explores why manager capability has become one of the biggest performance levers this year, where operational drag builds up through unclear delegation, avoidable escalation and reactive management, and the five practical moves leaders can implement immediately to improve clarity, accountability and output. <br/><br/>Jordan Burke will share what we’re seeing across organisations right now, and the session will close by exploring development strategies that support stronger performance through the rest of 2026.
