Manager in 2026: new rules, new leadership
Transformations are accumulating. They do not replace each other; they add up. Hybrid, AI, new generations, pressure for results, a relationship to work that reconfigures everything. Without any real time to land. The consequences are visible: fatigue, loss of engagement, weakening of the collective. And at the center of all this: the managers. Who absorb, translate, embody. And often continue "as before" because no one has clearly told them what has changed, what remains, and what will be at stake tomorrow. THE ISSUE Crossing a managerial threshold has become inevitable. But this threshold is not a threshold of tools. Not a threshold of skills. It is a threshold of posture. A threshold of leadership. And not all managers will cross it. Some have neither the desire, nor the energy, nor the appetite. Others prefer to remain in known postures even if they contribute to team wear and loss of engagement. Not all managers today will be managers tomorrow. Not as a sanction. But as a matter of clarity. This is your strategic challenge. MY THESIS In a world where AI redistributes expertise and accelerates decisions, leadership can no longer rest on knowledge or control. It rests on posture, clarity, the ability to give meaning and create the conditions for engagement. The managers who will stay ahead are not the most tech-savvy or the most experienced. They are those who will have made the conscious choice of their leadership posture and who will have understood the new rules. Managing is a role. Leading is the posture one chooses in this role. THE 3 PILLARS OF THE CONFERENCE Pillar 1 — What has really changed What managers experience differently today vs ten years ago. The accumulation of transformations, operational load, AI redistributing expertise, new expectations from teams. Why old recipes are no longer sufficient — and what this concretely requires. Pillar 2 — What remains constant despite all the waves The fundamentals that traverse all transformations. What still and always makes a team's sustainable performance. What AI will never replace. And why not having resolved them will cost much more than before. Pillar 3 — The skills that will really matter tomorrow Based on a unique study on the evolution of management in France over the past ten years. What the most effective managers do differently. The 3 skills to develop now to stay ahead. WHAT YOUR MANAGERS WILL TAKE AWAY A clear reading of their reality They understand why they feel this pressure without always being able to name it and what has really changed in their role. Solid benchmarks from day one The fundamentals that make the difference, the skills to strengthen, the postures to adopt. Concrete, actionable, immediately applicable. The desire to make the choice They leave with the energy to cross this leadership threshold, not the feeling of being behind. With the conviction that it is possible, now. WHAT MAKES THIS CONFERENCE UNIQUE Based on a unique field study Research on the evolution of management in France over the past ten years — what has changed, what remains, what will matter. A proprietary data that no one else possesses. Anchored in a vision, not in trends The manifesto of The Company of Tomorrow: the company will not transform with exhausted managers who remain in execution. It is a fundamental conviction, not a conjunctural response. It does not induce guilt Your managers leave with clarity and the energy to act. Not the feeling of being overwhelmed. It says what no one else says Not all managers today will be managers tomorrow. This uncomfortable truth creates the trigger. And gives the desire to be part of those who cross the threshold.
Manager in the Age of AI, Becoming the Leader That AI Cannot Be
The Anthropic report from March 2026 is unequivocal: 91.3% of managerial tasks can be covered by AI. Not in ten years. Now. In 2 years, some managers will have become indispensable, while others will have been bypassed. The difference will not lie in their mastery of the tools. THE ISSUE Agentic AI is transforming management at a speed that few organizations anticipate. Managers face a double challenge: to quickly adopt artificial intelligence tools AND to develop their reasoning, critical thinking, and co-decision-making abilities. To combine economic performance AND human value, without sacrificing one for the other. THE REAL RISK IS NOT THAT AI WILL REPLACE MANAGERS. It is that it reveals those who have never truly developed their leadership posture and exposes those who outsource to AI what should remain deeply human: relationships, sincere feedback, trust, meaning. MY THESIS AI will free managers from administrative and informational tasks, everything they do in front of their screens. To finally allow them to be fully what they are: a leader. Provided they have developed what AI will never replace. Manager is a role. Leader is the posture one chooses in this role. WHAT YOUR MANAGERS WILL TAKE AWAY A spark, not just another conference They understand what is truly changing in their role in the age of AI and choose their posture, instead of enduring. 3 concrete keys from Day +1 To strengthen their irreplaceable human value, engage their teams in the AI transformation, and CO-DECIDE WITH AI WITHOUT LOSING THEIR INTELLECTUAL SOVEREIGNTY. The renewed desire to manage They leave motivated, not guilty. With the energy to take control and grow their teams in the new work formats. WHAT MAKES THIS CONFERENCE UNIQUE This conference talks about managerial posture, what AI reveals about existing leadership, and how to amplify it. No technical training. It does not induce guilt: your managers leave with clarity and the energy to act, not the feeling of being behind on AI. Rooted in the latest data Anthropic report March 2026, research on the future of work, studies, 350+ interviews with leaders and HR directors in the podcast The Company of Tomorrow. 30 years of field experience 15 years in leadership positions at DHL and HSBC EMEA.

Reveal the Leadership of Your Managers
Reveal the leader you are — The concrete method to transform your managers into leaders Why, after so many training sessions, do your managers still feel they are not good managers? It is never a question of tools. It is a question of posture. THE ISSUE Your managers struggle to engage and retain their teams. They find it difficult to create the climate of trust and collaboration essential for innovating and performing in a complex and volatile world. They seek to give meaning to work on a daily basis. Yet they have attended training, read books, participated in seminars. Something still resists. Because to be a good manager, one must first be an excellent leader. And leadership is never a question of tools. MY THESIS Leadership is a capacity we all have within us, whether we are frontline managers or executives. There is a concrete and proven method to reveal and develop it. The Lead4Impact© method, developed by Delphine Zanelli based on 30 years of field experience and 350+ interviews with leaders on the podcast L'Entreprise de demain, provides managers with the benchmarks and energy to become the leaders they already are. Managing is a role. Leading is the posture one chooses in that role. WHAT YOUR MANAGERS TAKE AWAY A powerful awareness They understand why the leadership posture is fundamental today and measure the concrete benefits associated: engagement, performance, innovation. A 4-step method from Day +1 The 4 steps of Lead4Impact©: Identify · Amplify · Ritualize · Transmit. Concrete, actionable, immediately duplicable. The desire to do it They leave motivated, not guilty. With inspiring examples of practices from managers of all backgrounds and the energy to take action. WHAT MAKES THIS CONFERENCE UNIQUE A proven signature method Lead4Impact© is the result of 30 years of field experience and 350+ conversations with leaders from all sectors. No hollow theory — benchmarks rooted in the reality of managers. Your managers leave with the conviction that they already have what it takes and clarity on how to amplify it. The goal is twofold: to understand what leadership is and to inspire the desire to reveal it. TARGET AUDIENCES Frontline managers · Experienced managers · Executive managers · HR directors and managerial program directors · General public in a context of managerial transformation FORMAT FR/ENG Conference — 40 min to 1h30 — Adaptable opening or closing keynote MANAGER FEEDBACK Yves, BU Director The conference was a trigger in my reflection on the evolution to give to my management. The exchanges with Delphine helped me identify my leadership, define a framework, and position myself towards my teams as my stakeholders. Dominique, Manager I understood that I was often in the right posture and that I needed to both refine and amplify it. The shared experience particularly resonated with me and allowed me to understand how to do it. Rachel, Manager A method that truly helps me define the leader I wish to become.
