LONDON - TelAve -- Alchemist, a global leadership development company specialising in changing behaviour at scale through practice-led learning, announced it will host "Closing the Leadership Execution Gap" on July 22, 2026, at 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. EDT.

During the webinar, the company will provide an early look at its 2026 Leadership Challenges & Priorities research, which surveyed nearly 300 HR, L&D, and talent professionals on the leadership capabilities organisations need to turn strategy into results.

The data shows a gap between the leadership capabilities organisations identify as challenging and the areas they rank as top priorities.

For instance, first-time manager capability is challenging for 71% of organisations, yet only 17% rank it a top priority. Recruiting and hiring challenges 77%, yet just 34% prioritise it. AI readiness, decision-making, and retention ranked among the more immediate priorities for organisations.
