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:
1. Create a culture of Compassionate Candor
2. Build a cohesive team
3. Achieve results collaboratively
Required reading for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.

Title says it all. I’ve read at least 15 books on the topic. This by far is the best, giving easy to understand concepts and more importantly real life examples. Both case studies and specific RELATABLE anecdotes to explain the topic, “how to” pointers and what happens if you or don’t do the pointers provided. I will keep this guide close to me.

Das Buch ist auf Englisch und bietet unfassbar viele Anreize für Feedback, Ansprachen, Ansichten etc.
Ich wollte weg von der Sandwich Methode und bin hiermit fündig geworden. Das Buch bietet sehr gute und neue Ansätze. Ich kann es nur empfehlen, gleichzeitig kann man sein Englisch deutlich verbessern.

This book was required in advance of a leadership conference. The book came on time and was good quality. Enjoyed reading it, a really quick read. Very popular topic now for leaders.

Was recommended by a former boss of mine for my leadership team. After reading it first, I was hooked and it was a great addition. My team got a lot out of it and even used a lot of the information with their teams. Would highly recommend.

I first heard about “Radical Candor” during my government agency’s annual training conference, a conference that included a workshop based upon “Radical Candor” led by our HR director. While I hadn’t heard of the book, I fell in love with the ideas behind it and upon my return home set out to pick up the book for myself. “Radical Candor” has easily become one of my favorite books of the past year, a terrific option for those who are challenged by difficult conversations and who want to grow in leadership.
While “Radical Candor” is likely most applicable to those in management or leadership positions, I’ve found the book really has been of tremendous benefit in my personal life. Within weeks of reading the book, I found myself in a challenging situation dealing with a healthcare provider and took much of what I learned from the book to resolve the situation positively and to work through a potentially negative situation. I displayed a side of myself I didn’t really know and was rather awestruck by the positive results.
Since reading the book, I’ve actually been promoted into a supervisory position and am now seeing the ways in which the book complements my existing leadership skills and management style. Truly, “Radical Candor” remains one of my favorite books from the past year and I’ve seen positive growth both personally and professionally resulting from author Kim Scott’s intelligent, informed and sensitively written guidance.

This was an odd one, in part because it wasn’t a book I chose. Our team has a book club at work and the Radical Candor was the first book we covered, in part because our manager is looking for us to provide each other with more radical candor.
So first: this book is written for managers, and I am not a manager. (I don’t foresee wanting to be a manager any time soon.) If you are a manager, it’s probably a better fit.
Second, well, there’s a lot of Silicon Valley privilege dripping from this book. At one point, Kim talks about how letting poor performers go can be a blessing for both the company and poor performer because the fired employee can go do something like starting that coffee shop they always wanted.
Maybe on a West Coast IT severance package (assuming they move somewhere else) but most people on the East Coast and all points in between lose a job and immediately have to go find another job.
Kim also talks about how things like minority status or being female might make radical candor more complicated, but doesn’t actually talk about what to do about them. Frankly, I don’t think she knows.
So yes, problematic book from multiple angles.
At the same time, this book gave me some tips and tools that I need. For example, Kim puts a lot of emphasis on giving praise, which I don’t do enough. One of the highlights of my year so far was an unexpected piece of praise from my manager for a wiki I’m putting together. I’m trying to pay that forward to the folks I work with, because we all should hear about the things we’re doing right at least as often as we hear about the things we’re doing wrong.
The other thing that Radical Candor provides is a framework for structuring large conversations. When you have a business question where you know gaining consensus is going to be an issue, you can separate the “debate” meeting from the “decide” meeting, for example, to ensure that everyone gets a chance to have their say and at the same time there isn’t pressure to make a decision right now.
I don’t think that Kim Scott provided enough direct advice on how to structure a piece of criticism. I think that Crucial Conversations does a much better job in that sense. But I do think that this book gives better examples of why constantly providing just-in-time feedback can help a team move from a place where crucial conversations are necessary to a place where everyone is communicating clearly enough that high-stakes behavior discussions are fewer and far between.
In summary, this is not a book I’d say will have a permanent place on my bookshelf like Crucial Conversations does, but it’s helpful and adds some tools to my toolbox that I didn’t have before.

As part of a work book club, I delved into Kim Malone Scott’s fresh perspective on delivering criticism. Our team is keen on embracing her philosophy. My sole critique? The book’s repetition could have been trimmed for greater impact.

I don’t work in a leadership role however, I do lead individuals in other ways. This was an excellent book to know how to deal with various leaders and how I can better my own leadership in general.

Il libro mi è piaciuto e mi è servito molto. La cosa più importante: il metodo che insegna per dare feedback efficaci è facile da imparare e funziona. Non c’è però solo quello, il libro è ricco di consigli utili e di esempi. Si legge bene, soprattutto nella prima parte che è davvero godibile, ma sono i contenuti che rimangono la parte più preziosa. Dovrebbe essere una lettura obbligatoria prima di essere promossi a un ruolo che comporta la gestione di personale.

Great read!

Really good book to help you build your own management style. Do not consider this book as a bible and I do recommend reading more management books to create your own style. The tools provided are really good to get started to build highly effective teams which trust each other. Not everyone likes Radically candid people so tread carefully when practicing in real life.
