Low Confidence, High Potential: Key Techniques To Develop Top Managers
Thursday, 21st May 2026
11:00am - 12:00pm BST

Many organizations promote high performers into management roles with the expectation that leadership skills will naturally flow. However, research from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) shows a clear confidence gap: only 19% of managers feel fully confident in their role.

Without deliberate preparation, managers can struggle to navigate team dynamics, difficult conversations, and competing priorities. Over time this can impact engagement, wellbeing, and organizational performance; while organizations that approach leadership development intentionally through clear expectations, structured support, and embedded learning can drive higher confidence and stronger outcomes.

In this interactive webinar, Steve Wood will share practical strategies for leadership development that ensure leaders at every level are equipped to inspire performance, build trust, and drive meaningful results.
