According to former Google and Apple executive Kim Scott, managers fall into these categories when providing feedback to employees: Obnoxious Aggression, Ruinous Empathy, Manipulative Insincerity, and Radical Candor- the latter being the goal behavior that bosses should attain by demonstrating empathy and compassion, but also directly challenging their employees. With her book, Radical Candor, Scott teaches readers the essential tips, ideas, and philosophies to live by in order to be effective leaders while demonstrating a clear passion for their work environments.
With examples from Scott’s time working in the Silicon Valley, readers will have an easier time applying these life philosophies into their work culture and attitudes to create successful and fulfilling careers as leaders. Radical Candor applies to those who aspire for an ideal work culture that implements effective communication and relationships between boss and employee.
