Radical Candor
by Kim Scott
Kim Scott's management philosophy sits at the intersection of caring personally and challenging directly. These 4 skills teach you the two-dimensional framework for feedback, how to praise and criticize effectively, techniques for navigating the hardest conversations, and methods for building trust that makes candor possible — transforming you from a ruinously empathetic or obnoxiously aggressive boss into an effective leader.
