How knowing your team members makes you a better leader, with Vashti Boyce, Founder/CEO of Wild Iris Consulting

As leaders, our primary role is to serve our teams. And yet how many times have we had that manager or leader who doesn't really know what we need to feel successful? On this episode of Managing Made Simple, I'm joined by Vashti Boyce, Founder/CEO of Wild Iris Consulting, where we talk about the importance of getting to know your team members, how to build inclusive teams, and trauma informed leadership.  About Vashti: Vashti is a business consultant who leans into their education, vocational experiences, and integrative values as they work with individuals and organizations, illuminating how we can better relate to and work with one another in a way that promotes racial equity and social justice.
