Radical Candor: Revised Edition for Kick-Ass Bosses

Radical Candor has been embraced by leaders of all kinds and at companies of all sizes around the world. It has become a cultural touchstone and is now applied to a wide range of human relationships. The concept is simple: you can be kind and clear at the same time, without having to choose between being a pushover and a jerk. By using Radical Candor and avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy, you can effectively lead with compassion.

Kim Scott, a former leader at Google and Apple, developed and taught a management class at Apple. Since the original publication of Radical Candor in 2017, Scott has become internationally famous for her vital approach to effective leadership. She also co-founded the Radical Candor executive education company, which helps companies put the book's philosophy into practice.

Radical Candor focuses on caring personally and challenging directly, soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and providing guidance that helps others grow. It emphasizes praise but doesn't shy away from criticism, in order to help you love your work and the people you work with. Building radically candid relationships with team members enables bosses to fulfill their three core responsibilities: creating a culture of Compassionate Candor, building a cohesive team, and achieving results collaboratively.
