Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity by Kim Malone Scott
5.0
📚Who This Book is For: Anyone who is a leader or aspires to leadership
✏️Review: Anyone who has heard me talk about leadership has head me mention this book (and podcast). I recently revisited the book as I spend more time returning to my work of training and guiding leaders and I'm grateful that I did.
I hold this book and its framework as foundational to how I talk to people about leadership. The concepts are clearly outlined with well considered examples and concrete steps to take. It focuses on getting good work done, yes, but not at the sake of your humanity as a leader nor the humanity of other team members. It also has a really helpful section regarding how to get started with Radical Candor which I also recommend.
For me, leadership is such an integral piece of thinking about humans and how we do because most adults work and many do or want to work in environments where they feel seen, valued, and supported. Those who are leaders have the opportunity and responsibility to create that.
🗒️Main Take-Aways:
📌Care Personally + Challenge Directly
📌Start by soliciting feedback for yourself and demonstrating trustworthiness
📌Teach teams about Radical Candor for framework and accountability
📌Showing that you pay attention is a form of caring and investment in staff and the work
