Team Effectiveness in the Workplace 2026

Strengthscope’s Team Effectiveness in the Workplace 2026 report shares insights based on data collected from over 3,380 leaders and team members, between October 2024 and September 2025.

In this report, we investigate the strengths and effectiveness habits of leaders and teams across a wide range of industries and job functions. 

We explore: 

  • What qualities energise leaders the most and how has this changed compared to last year? 
  • How do these strengths rank based on different leadership levels? 
  • How are leaders perceived by their teams, and has this changed since last year? 
  • What are the key behaviours of effective leaders and how do they show up in different industries, job functions, and seniority levels? 
  • What are the most and least common behaviours of teams? 
  • Learnings and recommendations for HR and L&D leaders to address team effectiveness and leadership development challenges.
