Alchemist and RAIN Group to Reveal New Research on Leadership Trends Blocking Performance

LONDON - EntSun -- Alchemist, a leadership development company, and RAIN Group, a sales training company, announced they will host "The Behaviour Change Breakdown: 3 Leadership Trends Blocking Performance" on Thursday, Sept. 24, 2026 at 4 p.m. BST.

The live virtual event will explore trends across new 2026 research studies from both companies, part of the parent company Alchemist Group. The reports are based on responses from more than 500 sales and business leaders.

The findings reveal three leadership trends contributing to a persistent execution gap between organisational strategy and consistent behaviour change.

Among the research findings:

• 49% of leaders said the proportion of managers meeting performance expectations failed to improve in the past year.
• 63% of leaders said maintaining accountability and execution across their organisation is challenging.
• 72% of leaders said sustaining behaviour change is challenging.

Performance problems often emerge when leaders and managers struggle to translate strategy into clear expectations, effective coaching, accountability, and reinforced behaviours across their teams. The upcoming event will examine where that breakdown occurs and what organisations can do to improve execution.
