Charlotte’s session at SDI18 will explore how the traits of inclusive leaders can be adapted to respond to the everyday activities of managers and employees, and how they can adapt their actions and behaviours slightly to create a more inclusive workplace around them. The session will introduce the ‘Six Signature Traits of Inclusive Leadership’ research to explain how you can convert the themes into tangible actions for managers and employees. Charlotte’s ‘Four I’s’ model will also be used to explain how small shifts can have a big impact on employee and client satisfaction.

Charlotte will also be discussing The Nine Traits of EPIC Leaders – EPIC Leaders know that ‘Every Person Influences Culture’. Here Charlotte will share the key traits required of leaders to create an inclusive and engaging culture, enabling them to get the best out of their people.
