Session @ HR Inside Summit 2023

Inclusive leadership in practice

Based on the keynote, Caroline will dive deeper into inclusive leadership and how it can be practiced to harness the full value of the diversity in an organisation’s workforce.
Caroline will give specific examples of her own leadership style and how it progressed as she became aware of how excluding she had been as a male CEO and how much more value she got from her executive team when she practiced inclusive leadership.
She will engage the audience in examples of both structural and daily behaviours in meetings and social settings at work to demonstrate how inclusion works in practice. During the workshop, Caroline will as the audience to discuss in groups of 2-4 on several questions relating to the topic of the workshop and reflect on their own behaviour at work.
