Radical Candor

Be a Kick-ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity
Book • 2017
Radical Candor by Kim Scott offers a practical approach to management by emphasizing the importance of caring personally and challenging directly.

The book argues that effective managers must find a balance between being empathetic and providing clear, honest feedback.

Scott draws from her experiences at Google and Apple to provide actionable lessons on building strong relationships, giving feedback, and creating a collaborative work environment.

The book introduces the concept of 'radical candor' as the sweet spot between obnoxious aggression and ruinous empathy, and provides tools and strategies for managers to implement this approach in their daily work.
