The best leadership book there is!

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2023

Verified Purchase

I read Radical Candor and knew I immediately had to get Kim on my podcast. After interviewing her twice, she not only talks the talk, but walks the walk.

After our recording she asked “do you have any feedback for me” which is the biggest takeaway I got from this book. Feedback is a two way street, and I’m so glad this book provides us with the tangible tools to make it happen professionally and empathetically. Love this book - a must read for any reader!

Great Boss Guide

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

Starting at this new company as a boss hasn't been easy. My boss literally said there is a lot of tenure people here and so a lot of cliques and caddiness. Welcome to the team.

Doesn't sound like a great place to work. The first month was horrible. Strangely enough, my same boss who recognized the attitude problem recommended me this book. I couldn't put it down. These suggestions work. Even in a kitchen-like environment. In one month of working towards a radically candid environment I changed approval rating by 15%. It can work if you do the work!

very practical management book

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023

A lot of practical tools in this book. Although the concept of radical candor is simple, it takes practice to do it consciously. The tools offered in this book is pure gold. However, i felt the book could be better structured so we dont feel like jumping all over the place

Powerful book to use in any workplace

This book got to the core of so many challenges in management. Kim Scott has a great storytelling style and makes her points very clearly. She provides both a framework and a lot of tools to use it. Very powerful. And, her website has great free resources. Also an accompanying podcast helps bring the concepts to light with new depth. Highly recommend!

Good resource for managers

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

I liked the main point of the book (radical candor) it seems very practical. I wish I had read the book when I was running a team. In retrospect, I learned many things that I was doing wrong, my bosses were doing wrong, and my team. I always thought I'm not a good people's manager but now I think that I just didn't get the coaching or tools I needed to be a good manager. This book definitely gave me some valuable resources that I might use in the future.

I recommend d the book to any manager no matter their level of experience.

an array of tools buried in mundane reading

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

The book is worth reading but its not a page turner, the stories are vague , uneventful and yet I still question if some actually occurred or were manifested for the book.

The book does well at showcasing a number of tools that managers should incorporate if they havent already. Its worth reading for that and Thats where Scott shines but it should be 1/2 the size.

As far as “radical candor” its largely based on the personal relationship you have with employee. Even in Scotts stories you can find multiple examples where 2 people offer similar criticism but 1 is remembered as a bully and another as radically candid. This depends on 1) her relationship with the person at the time. 2) the outcome 3) her bias in particular for women

The book is from 2019 so it isn’t too preachy about Social Justice . Its definitely there. Her experience is silicon valley and many of the professionals are under 30 so you get a hefty dose of distorted reality but I couldn’t finish the audio excerpt of her next book Getting Shit done quickly. It was a woman lamenting her place as a white skinned victimizer.

Mostly fantastic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

Bold and positive - a real manifesto for good management. And now has all the qualification needed to stop it being a charter for bad behaviour by bosses.

My only qualms are that all the candour expected of non-managers is unrealistic for some. Also hugging strangers is not okay no matter how wide your smile.

Last observation is the bonus content could be integrated, but I suppose that's for version three.

Relentless focus on ones on ones combined with a fearless disposition of sharing some of Google's, Apple's –among others– manage

Reviewed in Brazil on June 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

On this book Kim Scott was able to piece together everything she has learned about business into a complete and cohesive model on how to manage based on three pillars: to care personally; to confront directly; to practice all sorts of 1:1s.

I intensively study management practices, but it wasn't until last year that I had management experience with more than five direct reports. In 2016 I started a company in which I had 20 direct reports. I tried what I now know is called a "Ruinous Empathy" approach. I thought that just caring and showing that to employees would bring open conversations to the table. Interesting thing is that people loved me, but soon things started getting out of control. That's when I started an "Obnoxious Agression" approach, fired some of them and stopped caring so much ( now I know I share great part of responsibility for what happened there). As you may have noticed both approaches lack a delicate kind of balance. That is the balance Kim Scott tries so hard to achieve with her method and I can understand perfectly why.

Here you'll find insightful quotations from world's leaders sharing their beliefs.

Moreover, you'll often find phrases on the following format: "you might think you don't have the time to___, but ___" . That means the model here presented requires an intensive focus on people. You'll need skills, time and dedication for it to work out. I can not state if it works, but it is definitely a north to follow and seems to be doing really good to me. It reminded me of the transformative experience it was reading Carol Dweck's Mindset.

Let me help you grasp what this book is really about with more concrete terms. Here, you will read about:
Hiring: getting to know the candidate behind the mask as much as possible in a short period of time.
Firing: doing what is best for the employee, not the company.
Giving/Receiving Feedbacks How to deal with biases, corporate structure, trust, openness, humility.
Putting people on the right jobs: Are the hungry for growth or for improving on what they do now?
Meetings: Establishing structured meetings with clear purposes, facilitating meetings, setting it out on a corporate agenda.

.

Dig further (Some of the books that Radical Candor reminded me)::

On conversation: Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High- Kerry Patterson
On meetings: Moments of Impact: How to Design Strategic Conversations That Accelerate Change- Chris Ertel ; Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable about Solving the Most Painful; Problem in Business- Patrick Lencioni ; Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days - Jake Knapp
