Episode notes

Kim Scott is the best-selling author of Radical Cander and Just Work. Kim has worked at all sorts of big companies but never as an operating executive. She was inspired by a former boss who suggested she write about management. How to be a better human is brought to you by Progressive, where customers who save by switching their home and car save nearly $800 on average.

You know what they say about unsolicited advice (don’t give it!) but when it comes to SOLICITED feedback, author and executive coach Kim Scott says: bring it on. Kim believes that when it comes to improving your life at home, work, and anywhere in between, it helps to ask for – and provide – kind, but radical, candor. In this episode, Kim shares what she’s learned about embracing candidness and care in the workplace, gives tips on how to engage in constructive conversations, and opens up about the benefits of addressing bias in communication. Her latest book, "Just Work:
How to Root Out Bias, Prejudice, and Bullying to Build a Kick-ass Culture of Inclusivity" is out now. For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts
