Capability Compass 2026 is one of Australia’s most comprehensive studies of leadership capability, analysing data from leaders across 23 sectors and 16 capabilities.

The Capability Compass insights are grounded in a multi-referential research methodology designed to provide a robust, practical view of:

  1. What are the most in-demand leadership capabilities heading into 2026?
  2. How are Australian leaders showing up against these capabilities?
  3. Where are the biggest capability gaps, and how do we tackle them?

The methodology reflects Future Leadership’s Model of Leadership, which considers leadership effectiveness through the integrated lenses of Context, Capability, and Capacity. The data is segmented to reveal insights across CEO, COO, CTO, CIO and CPO (Chief People Officer) roles, as well as a look at the capability profiles of board directors.
