What makes a good leader? Having coached CEOs at various tech companies including Dropbox and Twitter, Kim Scott thought she had a foolproof strategy. It’s one she outlined in her 2017 book, “Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity.” As the title suggests, honesty lies at the heart of Kim’s approach. But what happens when bias and prejudice don’t allow you to be direct? This is a question that followed Kim for years after the publication of her first book, leading her to write another, called “Radical Respect: How to Work Together Better.” Kim sits down with Jessi to discuss how we can build better relationships and stand up when we see injustice in the workplace.
