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!
