In this Short Talk episode Judith Germain speaks to Charlotte Gregson about how to navigate international challenges as a startup. Charlotte emphasises the importance of transparent and empathetic leadership, drawing from her own personal experiences.

She discusses how she has tried to create an environment where her team feels comfortable raising issues and providing feedback, and how she works to support them through personal challenges.

Key Takeaways

In this conversation Charlotte acknowledges the gender imbalance in her industry and her role as the only female UK leader in her organisation. She discusses the challenges she has faced, such as being heard in meetings, and the perceptions that can come with being a female leader. However, she remains passionate about her work and committed to speaking up and driving positive change.

The overarching message of this episode is about the power of transparent, empathetic leadership in driving success, even in complex, international business environments.

Charlotte Gregson is the UK County Head at Malt, an end-to-end talent marketplace that allows companies across the UK and Europe to source and manage freelance talent.
