Radical Candor

I owe the discovery of this book to one of my dear colleagues, a truly transformational coach when nailing together a better approach to feedback. I particularly appreciated the book for the compelling, yet challenging blend of two seemingly contrasting principles: caring personally and challenging directly. This unique combination poses a significant but necessary shift for many of us in the workplace, as we naturally incline towards only one of the two. Mine was caring personally.

In the context of our culture, where preserving relationships often comes first, embracing this approach may present certain challenges. The tendency to avoid constructive feedback or fear that it could damage relationships underscores the need for a paradigm shift and the book enables this.
