E178: Dan Temple - Leading with Empathy and Cultivating High-Performing Teams

Humans are invariably highly motivated, trained and skilled people yet they make mistakes. Cobalt doesn't help organisations come to the conclusion it was 'human error', it helps them work out why the error was made in the first place through engagement and training.
