The Human Skills Stack: Key Findings from the 2026 State of EQ Report

The Human Skills Stack: Key Findings from the 2026 State of EQ Report

9:00 am PST/12:00 pm EST
February 26, 2026

Organizations are operating in an environment defined by economic uncertainty, constant change, and accelerating AI adoption. While many teams are investing heavily in their tech stack, our new 2026 State of EQ Report points to a clear truth: the most powerful technology in any organization is still the human brain.

Without strengthening the “operating system”—how people manage emotions, pressure, conflict, and change—even the most advanced tools fall short. Performance, retention, and execution ultimately hinge on human skills.

Based on insights from nearly 700 professionals across 30+ industries, this webinar unpacks key findings from the report, including why human skills are a critical differentiator, how internal alignment has become a hidden consequence of external pressure, and why many leaders focus development in ways that don’t reflect what their people actually need.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • Which human skills determine whether your tech investments pay off
  • What uncertainty is doing to leadership behavior and how to respond
  • Why alignment and trust are now performance multipliers
  • Where leaders are working on the wrong behaviors, and how to refocus where it counts

All registrants will receive a copy of the 2026 State of EQ Report and a discussion guide to use with their leadership team.

If you’re responsible for leadership development, performance, culture, or engagement, this session offers a data-driven roadmap for what to prioritize in 2026.
