About this listen
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:
- Create a culture of Compassionate Candor.
- Build a cohesive team.
- Achieve results collaboratively.
Required listening for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.

But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Best book for kiss ass bosses, ever!
Kim did a fantastic job describing the ins and outs of the key pain point of managers, not only that, she provides outstanding recommendations on how to address each situation with care and efficiency. I am recommending this book for everyone in my team and company. There are good highlights of the book you can google, but the book is just a must read for everyone that has accountability for other people’s growth.

Too long!
Great business book but it should have been shorter for better quality. Too much fluff, too repetitive.

Difficult to finish
This book really could have used some editing. I feel like all the points and anecdotes were repeated over and over. The whole thing could have been said in 3 hours instead of 12.

Should have left the bonus chapter out.
The book has some valuable commentary. I do not feel the bonus chapter was necessary or cohesive with the message of the book. It felt thrown in there. Getting on the "woke" bandwagon undermines much of the value of the previous message.
