Radical Candor: Fully Revised & Updated Edition

Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity

By: Kim Scott

Narrated by: Teri Schnaubelt

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.

Should be required reading for managers and above

This book gets down to some of the biggest problems companies face with their managers and above managing their teams.
It then gives you a framework to follow to help address those problems.

A Book of Apologies and Bad Ideas

To write a book that spends so much time apologizing for previous version’s information while simply reinforcing the negativism is not what I was expecting. There are some good pointers one might use in one’s own family life, at home, in private, but in a business setting in the 2020’s this book suggests many ideas that could lead to lawsuits. Candor of this nature is on the sharp edge of the modern view of attackism in the work place. Don’t follow these guidelines in the office unless you have a strong legal team. These ideas would’ve been great in the 1950’s.

Quick read, quick results

Great stories and usable information that can be implemented today. Recommend to even the smallest of teams.

Radically candid and real

Great tools and thought provoking experiential advice for people improvement in all types of industries. Great to listen to - loaded with info.

Great read but where is the accompanying PDF?

Book is great and useful, but where is the accompanying PDF? It is necessary for some references and the listing says it will be available in the audible library but it's not.. Please fix this.
