Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care
Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly. When you
challenge without caring it’s obnoxious aggression; when you care
without challenging it’s ruinous empathy. When you do neither it’s
manipulative insincerity. This simple framework can help you
build better relationships at work, and fulfill your three key
responsibilities as a leader: creating a culture of feedback (praise and
criticism), building a cohesive team, and achieving results you’re all
proud of. Radical Candor offers a guide to those
bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who
manage bosses. Taken from years of the author’s experience, and
distilled clearly giving actionable lessons to the reader; it shows
managers how to be successful while retaining their humanity, finding
meaning in their job, and creating an environment where people both love
their work and their colleagues.
