Tending to Your Team: Nurturing Relationships Through Thoughtful Leadership
Leadership can be as rewarding as it is challenging—especially when you focus on cultivating and motivating people, rather than just “fixing” issues. In this episode, we’re joined by international keynote speaker and author Jones Loflin, who shares a human-centered approach to leadership. Learn how embracing a gardener’s mindset and viewing team members as individuals first unlocks creativity and resilience that boost performance, productivity, and career growth. Tune in for motivating, real-life examples that will help you tend to your team more effectively—and grow as a leader in the process.Visit Jones' website!Email Jones!Donate to EFR. 1 in 3 Iowans needing mental health care cannot afford it.
