Manager Readiness: Building the Skills That Make Strategy Succeed
Many organizations are moving fast on ambitious strategies – but still overlooking the one factor that determines whether those plans actually succeed: manager readiness. Expectations continue to rise as work grows more complex.
Managers are being asked to do more than ever, often without the skills, habits, or context they need to lead effectively. Layer in evolving hiring models and distributed teams, and the cost of underprepared managers becomes impossible to ignore in the year ahead.
Join Brendon Nimphius (Facilitation Manager, LifeLabs Learning) and Gemma Taylor (Senior Learning Manager, Oyster) as they explore what manager readiness really means and how leaders can start strengthening it now, while there’s still time to influence the year.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Build critical Tipping Point Skills™ – including coaching, delegation, and feedback – that drive real manager effectiveness
✅ Prepare managers for the practical realities of hiring beyond borders, from new expectations to emerging risks and leadership demands
Whether you’re finalizing your learning roadmap, rethinking manager enablement, or navigating increasingly complex hiring decisions, this session will help you focus on what matters most.
