Building a More Empathetic Team with Tara Gallina at Take Root Hospitality Group

On this episode, I’m joined by Tara Gallina, Co-Owner of Take Root Hospitality Group, to hear how she’s working to create a more empathetic hospitality industry.

Tara is a fine dining veteran, having worked at the prestigious Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York before taking her expertise to St. Louis and opening four outstanding restaurants of her own.

In each of her businesses, Tara works tirelessly to cultivate a leadership team that is understanding and empathetic towards the needs of its staff. Whether it’s through making space for employees to discuss their personal lives at work, or providing free mental health services to her team, Tara wants her restaurants to be a beacon of a new, more empathetic hospitality industry.

She’s created an outstanding culture of patience, communication and understanding that allows everyone to be their full selves at work, and it makes for a more authentic and welcoming guest experience.
