As a manager, how do you tow the thin red line between coming off as a cold-hearted jerk and being a complete pushover?
In this live virtual event, Jacob chats with Electric Senior Director of Growth, Seth Steinman, about the concept of radical candor. What is it, and how can it lay the foundation for a more collaborative, receptive, and empathetic workplace?
Then, Jacob and Seth field questions from viewers about how to handle employees who take constructive criticism a litte too personally, how to make feedback a two-way street between managers and employees, and how to successfully roll out the concept of radical candor in your own workplace.
And if you’re looking for deep dives, tactics and the resources you need to up your leadership game, you need Leader’s Lens - Jacob’s twice-weekly newsletter.
