The 2026 Leadership Execution Gap
Thank you for your interest in The 2026 Leadership Execution Gap report.
The report asks a central question: Are organisations building leadership capability in a way that improves performance, supports change, and accelerates execution?
Finding the Other Way in Leadership Development
Closing the leadership execution gap will need more than traditional training and theory.
Operating pressures, AI-disruption, and the conflict between urgent and foundational work are all here to stay.
It’s time to find another way.
Our research shows that organisations with a consistently used framework report increased manager performance (67% vs 32% for all others), improved change effectiveness (75% vs 47%), and extensive AI use from leaders (52% vs 13%).
At Alchemist, we work with leaders to diagnose the behaviours that will deliver business outcomes and develop programmes designed to sustain behaviour change.
If you’re looking to build leadership capability across your organisation, talk to an Alchemist today.
