Resumen del Editor

Featuring a new preface, afterword, and Radically Candid performance-review bonus chapter, the fully revised and updated edition of Radical Candor is packed with even more guidance to help you improve your relationships at work.

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 Candor - avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy - you 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 criticism - to 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:

1. Create a culture of Compassionate Candor.
2. Build a cohesive team.
3. Achieve results collaboratively.

Required listening for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.

Realistic and Relatable

I loved this manager toolkit in a book. The stories, examples, practical how to put the lessons into practice put this at the top of my recommendation list for all people leaders and HR professionals.

Couldn’t stand the tone the Narrator Used

While I don’t agree with all the principles in the book, there were some good points. Overall, it was a painful listen. The tone of the narrator came across as ice like and in your face. I don’t recommend listening to her at all.

Excellent content; better as physical text

The content was incredible, and I'll be returning to this text over and over in my career and personal life. As an audiobook, it's dense and long, and definitely better to read physically and jot notes in.

Great read but needs a pdf companion

Great book and interesting insights I found highly relevant to my current role. Lots of actionable advice I can immediately put into practice. Only negative was there were several tables or diagrams that were read aloud instead of being in an accompanying pdf. Reading a table aloud was totally useless and disengaging. I would have preferred a pdf to go look at as the associated section was read.

It was great until…

I’m sure I’ll be accused of “mansplaining” or because I am white, but we could deal without all the privilege talk and making George Floyd sound like a saint.

wow

this is a process book. combine Traction, Dare to Lead and Radical candor and you can opertany business over 2
10 people to whatever goal you set. but it will take 3 years to get all the processes in place

Excellent book.

A well written, and edited book. Delivers a much needed knowledge in the corporate and start-up environment as well.

Great book for manager or founder

Worth to listen and learn some good tips for team collaboration, providing feedback, and in general working with other people.

An annual read

I was recommended this book and didn't finish it soon enough. That had the impact of me not enacting, holistically, the deployment of Radical Candor for my team before it was dissolved. This book did help me finish the role strongly, and the managers reporting to me and I have all grown because of it despite being a bit too late for full effectiveness.

Read this book annually to re-up your memory of what you should be doing for your team. Think of it as your meta-hygiene around how to deploy the hygiene of feedback. If fast feedback is like brushing your teeth, as Scott states, and performance management is the dental cleaning, then rereading this book is like going to your annual industry conference as a dental hygienist, to stay sharp in applying the work office-wide.

Thank you, Kim Scott, for another highly effective 2x2 matrix!

Practical

I love the practical principles for my work. Highly recommended for managers and HR representatives.
