From Intent to Impact: Aligning Leader Development with What Teams Experience

Leaders are investing more effort than ever into development, especially as economic uncertainty rises, change accelerates, and the demands on leadership continue to grow.

In this webinar, we’ll take a deeper dive into one of the most striking findings from the 2026 State of EQ Report: the gap between how leaders see themselves and how their people experience them. Drawing on Emotional Intelligence Appraisal Multi-Rater data from more than 23,000 individuals, we’ll explore why leaders often focus inward while employees experience outward-facing behaviors that directly shape trust, engagement, and performance.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What multi-rater EQ data reveals about the gap between leadership perceptions and reality
• Why pressure and uncertainty make certain behaviors more visible
• The outward-facing leadership skills that most influence trust, alignment, and performance
• Practical ways to refocus leadership development efforts on what people actually experience and need

If you’re responsible for leadership development, culture, engagement, or performance, this webinar will provide a data-driven roadmap for closing the intent-to-impact gap and strengthening leadership capability.

This session is ideal for HR, L&D, and organizational leaders looking to strengthen leadership capability.
