Description
New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller multiple years running
Translated into 20 languages, with more than half a million copies sold worldwide
A Hudson and Indigo Best Book of the Year
Recommended by Shona Brown, Rachel Hollis, Jeff Kinney, Daniel Pink, Sheryl Sandberg, and Gretchen Rubin
Radical Candor has been embraced around the world by leaders of every stripe at companies of all sizes. Now a cultural touchstone, the concept has come to be applied to a wide range of human relationships.
The idea is simple: You don't have to choose between being a pushover and a jerk. Using Radical Candorβavoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathyβyou can be kind and clear at the same time.
Kim Scott was a highly successful leader at Google before decamping to Apple, where she developed and taught a management class. Since the original publication of Radical Candor in 2017, Scott has earned international fame with her vital approach to effective leadership and co-founded the Radical Candor executive education company, which helps companies put the book's philosophy into practice.
Radical Candor is about caring personally and challenging directly, about soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and also providing guidance that helps others grow. It focuses on praise but doesn't shy away from criticismβto help you love your work and the people you work with.
Radically Candid relationships with team members enable bosses to fulfill their three core responsibilities:
- Create a culture of Compassionate Candor
- Build a cohesive team
- Achieve results collaboratively
Required reading for the most successful organisations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.
