Our guest is Kerri Davis, CEO and founder of Fortress, although she would better describe her focus as being the Chief Vision Officer and Chief Supporter to her incredible executive team. Kerri pushes the team to solve internal problems with extreme passion, transparency, efficiency, and simplicity, and to do the same for Fortress’s clients and business partners.

In this episode of Scaling Culture, Ron and Kerri discuss:

• Why extreme transparency and vulnerability at the top are the secret ingredients to get to know your employees
• The balance of overachievement in the workplace and how to tell when someone is motivated

• Why we all need to start reframing tough conversations as acts of kindness, AND
• An exploration on the art of tough conversations – how to let someone go and why the “pre-check in” might be the most important thing you do
