5 critical actions to enable your people leaders to succeed
Success as a people leader looks different in 2024, and many companies lack the tools to bring out the best in their managers. HR leaders can fix this: This survey explores the gap between industry perceptions and individual leader perspectives on what makes a successful leader, and what talent professionals are best positioned to do about it.
The importance of measuring success
The survey shows that one-third of organizations do not have a formal way to measure the success of people leaders, yet the overwhelming majority (94%) believe such frameworks are good for business. There’s a disconnect there.
The connection between role clarity and high-functioning teams
More than one in four businesses (26%) today do not clearly define roles and responsibilities for people leaders. These organizations experience traffic jams and inefficiency, as employees and managers tend to disagree on the expectations. HR can help here too.

Aligning organizational goals with team goals isn’t just a talent initiative – it’s good business strategy.
Managing workload and well-being
There’s plenty of evidence that worker well-being is critical to productivity. Yet only 10% of organizations in the survey prioritize promoting healthy work-life balance as a key criterion for successful people leadership.
Upskilling with the right skills
Even as most organizations say they prioritize professional development, nearly one in four people leaders say insufficient training is one of the most significant challenges impeding their success.
