Featuring a new preface, afterword, and Radically Candid performance-review bonus chapter, the fully revised and updated edition of Radical Candor is packed with even more guidance to help you improve your relationships at work.
Radical Candor has been embraced around the world by leaders of every stripe at companies of all sizes. Now a cultural touchstone, the concept has come to be applied to a wide range of human relationships.
The idea is simple: You don't have to choose between being a pushover and a jerk. Using Radical Candor - avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy - you can be kind and clear at the same time.
Kim Scott was a highly successful leader at Google before decamping to Apple, where she developed and taught a management class. Since the original publication of Radical Candor in 2017, Scott has earned international fame with her vital approach to effective leadership and co-founded the Radical Candor executive education company, which helps companies put the book's philosophy into practice.
Radical Candor is about caring personally and challenging directly, about soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and also providing guidance that helps others grow. It focuses on praise but doesn't shy away from criticism - to help you love your work and the people you work with.
Radically Candid relationships with team members enable bosses to fulfill their three core responsibilities:
- Create a culture of Compassionate Candor.
- Build a cohesive team.
- Achieve results collaboratively.
Required listening for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.

Kim's experience is tangible and prescriptive while at the same highly humanized.
Her experience at Google, Apple and Juice touts the best of each of these bastions of modern day management excellence, which often present as infallible, however she provides a bird's eye view of some of their limitations and where their philosophical tenets start to falter as organizations scale.
Kim shows a great deal of ownership and vulnerability in her candor and gives clear step by step instructions on how to implement radical candor.
I have only read the revised version. However, from the introduction, I think her revisions address some key misinterpretations of the original book. For that reason, I recommend the revised version of the book.
This is another invaluable read for any leader (whether in management or an individual contributor) who wants to gro themselves and their organization in an honest and caring way founded on FAIRNESS.
Great book.

As you could surmise from said title, this book is filled with strategies for being open and honest at work. However, the real message and lesson here is actually teaching the reader how to be a great boss and lead a successful division without treating his/her employees as means to ends.
It’s both effective and informative. I’m going four stars here instead of five simply because the book does get a little in the weeds on strategic implementation at times. I think that’s just a product of the nature of the work itself. Some people will love that. I just found it to drag out a little at times. That said, such implementation details are core to the book’s ethos and will go a long way toward helping people improve their management skills.
Props to the author for addressing the hilarious Silicon Valley episode that made a mockery of the original edition. She handled it gracefully and used it as an opportunity to get the message back out there — another product of the mindset she preaches throughout the book.
