Radical Candor – Kim Scott

Radical Candor shows you how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. It is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism – to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and increase success. 

Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Scott, driven by her experience from Google and Apple, has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor can help you build, lead, and inspire teams to do their best work.
