Episode notes

The book is a great way to really understand the philosophy but understanding a philosophy is very different than putting it into practice so we've done a couple of things to help people put the ideas into practice one is the candor coach app. We're really helping people take little daily steps these are two-minute tasks every day that will help you move in the direction of radical candor at work. There's also a podcast radical candor available wherever you download your podcast and we covered topics that people write into us all the time about sort of specific management dilemmas they want to think about.

In order to care personally for someone, you have to bring your whole self, not just your “business” persona. Sometimes we get so focused on the work that we forget there’s actually a person doing the work. Begin by soliciting feedback, not by giving it. To get feedback, come up with a go-to question like “Is there anything I could do or stop doing that would make it easier to work with me?” Resources Mentioned Radical Candor* by Kim Scott Radical Candor podcast Book Notes Download my highlights from Radical Candor in PDF format (free membership required).
