The old adage is ingrained in us that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. While this advice may work for home life, as Kim Scott has seen first hand, it is a disaster when adopted by managers in the work place.

Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google before moving to Apple where she developed a class on optimal management. Radical Candor draws directly on her experiences at these cutting edge companies to reveal a new approach to effective management that delivers huge success by inspiring teams to work better together by embracing fierce conversations.

Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism - delivered to produce better results and help employees develop their skills and boundaries of success.

Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters.

Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of first hand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the reader, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work, their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

Review

Kim Scott has a well-earned reputation as a kickass boss and a voice that CEOs take seriously. In this remarkable book, she draws on her extensive experience to provide clear and honest guidance on the fundamentals of leading others: how to give (and receive) feedback, how to make smart decisions, how to keep moving forward, and much more. If you manage people - whether it be 1 person or a 1,000 - you need Radical Candor. Now. -- Daniel Pink, author of the New York Times bestseller Drive

I raced through Radical Candor - it's thrilling to learn a framework that shows how to be both a better boss and a better colleague. Radical Candor is packed with illuminating truths, insightful advice, and practical suggestions, all illustrated with engaging (and often funny) stories from Kim Scott's own experiences at places like Apple, Google, and various start-ups. Indispensable. -- Gretchen Rubin, author of the New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project

Review

A revolutionary approach to management drawn from years of first-hand experience at Apple and Google.

Practical Advice for day to day management

Reviewed in Australia on 4 March 2020

Verified Purchase

This books offers very practical advice for people managers. Kim has used a lot of stories to bring a dry topic to life. Her radical candid axis is a good tool for understanding the not so easy feedback and communication issue faced by people managers. Her clear stance on separating development conversations and performance management is yet another subtle point with possible far reaching consequences for team building and eventually success of an organization.

Proof honesty really is the best policy

Reviewed in Australia on 20 June 2018

Verified Purchase

I've been helping my clients to master what I call candid, convivial and compassionate communication and conversations since 1991 so I was very much drawn to this book. It is an excellent work.

I particularly liked the GSD (get stuff done) model and the use of it with all the many meetings leaders have in chapter 8.

I liked the second half because it is all about applying the philosophies of 'radical candor' that is the first half.

I agree with the author that relationships leaders have with their direct reports greatly impacts their relationships with their direct reports. This book is full of great ideas to build and grow relationships of high value and mutual reward in the workplace, at home and everywhere in general

Be nice to people and Listen - there - saved you a few hours

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2021

Verified Purchase

This is the worst book I have read in 2020-2021. The author spends 80% of the time jamming the title 'Radical Candor' down our throats (A model that isn't half as revolutionary as it tries to make out), and the remaining 10% name dropping all the places she worked with and who she rubbed shoulders with. This would have been inspiring and nice but didn't come across as humble and empowering. The remaining 10% was useful and have included it in the headline. Disappointed as I was looking forward to it, but I would suggest avoiding. Shame.

Excellent and useful - a must read for managers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2017

Verified Purchase

The core framework this book is built around is strong, and the book strengthens it throughout with practical advice and examples. A near perfect example of a business book that gets to its point and doesn't waste your time with padding.

Feedback is such a simple thing, but so hard for individuals and teams to get right without conscious practice. Radical Candor is an accessible and compelling companion for anyone trying to improve this aspect of their work.

I highlighted many passages and shared them with colleagues as I read this book - a sign that reading it was time well-spent.

Tiny font, moans too much, gave up

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2021

Verified Purchase

Paperback is printed in a font so small it's quite uncomfortable to read. I only managed to get through the first 10 pages (which Kim seems to spend airing her grievances about how other people have interpreted her book), so I gave up. I get the impression that this book would contain a lot of waffle for what is a very simple message.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2017

Verified Purchase

Incredible. I bought this to try and better relate to my own managers (and it was very useful for that) but it went so much beyond that. This should be mandatory reading for everyone who has to communicate with other people at all. Cannot recommend enough. The methodologies and ideas are broken down so clearly you only need to read the book once and you'll remember 90% of it. Go, Kim Scott!!!!!!!!! :)

Mr. Tyler Durden

Not applicable to Germany/Europe

Reviewed in Germany on 6 April 2019

Verified Purchase

My mistake. I hoped there'd be some wisdom in this book also for non-Americans, but no such thing. Office rituals and habits in Europe differ greatly from the described American settings (that I used to be well-familiar with years ago), which does not make this book useful at all (for me) here in Germany.
Being too open and/or too candid in the office rather is a hindrance and not appreciated. Actually, being too open to your boss and/or coworkers opens the door for jealousy and backstabbing which is a threat to any career. (Of course, other people's experiences may vary.)
