Description

A New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, translated into 20 languages with more than half a million copies sold worldwide, Radical Candor has become an influential guide to effective leadership and management.

Kim Scott’s central idea is simple: leaders do not have to choose between being a pushover and being a jerk. By caring personally while challenging directly, managers can communicate with both kindness and clarity.

Scott draws on her experience as a leader at Google and Apple to explain the dangers of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity and Ruinous Empathy. Her framework helps leaders give and receive feedback, praise good work, address problems honestly and support the growth of their teams.

Radical Candor focuses on three core responsibilities of leadership: creating a culture of open feedback, building a cohesive team and achieving results collaboratively.

Written for managers, bosses and those who manage them, this practical guide offers clear advice for building stronger workplace relationships, making better decisions and leading successfully without losing your humanity.
