Hone Panel Webinar: Rethinking Manager Capabilities in 2026

HR and People leaders are rethinking manager development as expectations of managers continue to rise. What worked in the past no longer feels sufficient. 

That’s why Hone is bringing together a panel of HR and People leaders to share how they are strengthening manager capability today, what they are doing differently, and where they are placing their bets heading into 2026.

The discussion will be moderated by Jeff Diana, former CHRO at Calendly and Atlassian, and will feature insights from HR and People leaders at Rubrik, IBM, and Thumbtack.

This session is designed as a candid discussion grounded in real experience rather than theory, offering practical insight into how organizations are developing managers for today’s environment.

Moderator: 

• Jeff Diana, Former CHRO at Calendly and Atlassian; Executive advisor and people leader

Panelists: 

• Sofia Lamuraglia, Director, Leadership Development at IBM
• Rebecca Crotts, Sr. Director, Global Talent Development and Inclusion at Rubrik
• Leslie Barkett Laws, Vice President of HR at Thumbtack
