Welcome to We Are Human Leaders.
This conversation with Jason Rosoff of Radical Candour illuminates the power in caring personally about those we work with and having the courage to challenge directly. It debunks the myths of brutal honesty and presents a more effective and compassionate way to have hard conversations that drive psychological safety.
It's a lesson that’s important well beyond our worklife.

Over the last four years, Jason has helped all kinds of organizations, from tiny startups to the giants in the Fortune 100, realize the power of creating a more Radically Candid culture. Through this work, he’s helped hundreds of companies develop real human relationships between team members and through those relationships, achieve amazing results collaboratively.
You’ll hear more in the podcast about Jason’s self-described career meander and how he’s coming to doing this work.
