Inclusive Leadership in Polarised Times

You deal with conflict at work every day, and rising polarisation makes this harder. This episode gives you a straightforward way to strengthen your inclusive leadership and keep your team steady when views clash.

You’ll hear:

• How political, economic and tech pressures shape your people’s behaviour.
• Why psychological safety and brave spaces matter.
• A clear four-step method to manage difficult conversations.
• How to calm the room, set simple rules, model curiosity and close well.
• The six inclusive leadership behaviours that build trust: empathy, relationship building, learning orientation, open-mindedness, composure and flexibility.
• How to move from unconscious or performative inclusion to intentional, everyday actions.
• A quick self-check you can use to spot strengths and gaps in your culture.
