Dana Barbato is Founder and CEO of InvestiPro, a cloud-based workforce investigation platform designed to hold employees and leaders accountable to safety and behavior standards and encourage engagement with a portal that collects ideas and feedback from employees and delivers them to HR or management.

In this episode Dean and Dana discuss:

How accountability and engagement are both integral to successful and sustainable company culture.
How 2-way accountability between employees and management creates growth opportunities for everyone.
Simple ways to improve communication amongst peers and between employees and company leadership.
How intuition is the key to connecting with anyone on a more meaningful level.

Key Takeaways:

A focus on accountability creates an environment where engagement, retention and performance will naturally improve.
Communicating through real-time dialogue instead of via the inbox makes both conflict resolution and everyday communication easier.
Learning to lean into intuition instead of always doing things by the book leads to more effective and authentic communication.
Talking out your disagreements in a thoughtful way leads to more trust among team members.
