Which skills survive, which ones don't, and what replaces them?
Some management skills are more relevant than ever. Reading a room. Building trust. Knowing when to step in and when to get out of the way. Others were built for a world that's disappeared or is disappearing quickly. This rapid change in skill requirements is putting managers at risk of either becoming irrelevant or disengaged.
Our next Leadership Foundation explores how we build the management capabilities that are missing from most management training.
Reasons to attend
Find out what's actually changed, not what people assume has changed, when defining future management skills.
Discover the specific attributes that will separate managers who thrive from those who will become less effective.
Explore the skills managers need for the future, to ensure you and your organisation are developing management skills effectively.
The online session will contain people asking the same questions you are. People who also suspect the ground has shifted.
The conversations in the break-outs are as good as the ones in plenary.
You'll get access to a self-checker questionnaire after the session, to find out where your own management approach is future-fit (or needs some work!)

CQ Snacks are short, monthly sessions designed to explore how people think, decide, and take action in complex, real-world situations.
Each 30 minute session draws on Creative Intelligence (CQ), a practical approach that coordinates emotional awareness, creative thinking, and deliberate action. Rather than focusing on theory, the emphasis is on use: how to shift perspective, reduce overwhelm, and identify a next step that can be tested immediately.
Sessions are interactive and structured to support quick application. A typical session includes brief framing, guided reflection, and an opportunity to apply the idea to a real scenario. Participants are encouraged to bring something they are actively working through, though examples are provided for those who prefer to observe.
Topics vary from month to month and often reflect common patterns that arise in coaching, leadership, and decision-making. These include moments where people feel stuck despite having insight, situations where overthinking delays action, and environments where uncertainty makes it difficult to move forward.
CQ Snacks are intended to be accessible and practical. They offer a way to engage with new ways of thinking without a large time commitment, while still producing something useful: a clearer perspective, a more grounded response, or a small step that can be tested in real time.
CQ Snacks are free and open to the public, with optional registration depending on the session. They take place on the 4th Thursday of every month at 12:30 pm ET.
