About this session
How to care personally when you don’t personally care? Want to unlock your team’s potential? Learn to tell them the truth, even when it’s hard.
You will learn how to address the fear of giving honest feedback and the tendency to sugarcoat or avoid difficult conversations.
Content: Introducing the concept of “Radical Candor” (from Kim Scott’s book). Explaining the four quadrants: Ruinous Empathy, Manipulative Insincerity, Obnoxious Aggression, and Radical Candor. Providing practical tips for giving and receiving feedback in a candid and caring way.
Radical Candor isn’t about being mean; it’s about caring personally and challenging directly. Embrace it, and watch your team flourish.
