A practical guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses.
Drawing on years of first-hand experience, Radical Candor shows you how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. From Kim Scott, former manager at Google and Apple, and CEO coach to Silicon Valley.
‘Reading Radical Candor will help you build, lead, and inspire teams to do the best work of their lives’ – Sheryl Sandberg, former chief operating officer at Meta (Facebook) and author of Lean In
If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all . . . right?
While this advice may work for home life, as Kim Scott has seen first hand, it is a disaster when adopted by managers in the work place.
Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google before moving to Apple where she developed a class on optimal management. Radical Candor draws directly on her experiences at these cutting edge companies to reveal a new approach to effective management that delivers huge success by inspiring teams to work better together by embracing fierce conversations.
Radical Candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on the one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It is about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism – delivered to produce better results and help your employees develop their skills and increase success.
Great bosses have a strong relationship with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees:
Make it personal
Get stuff done
Understand why it matters
Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people love both their work and their colleagues, and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.
‘If you manage people – whether it be 1 person or a 1,000 – you need Radical Candor. Now’ – Daniel H. Pink, author of the New York Times bestseller Drive
Featuring a new preface, afterword and Radically Candid Performance Review Bonus Chapter, the fully revised & updated edition of Radical Candor is packed with even more guidance to help you improve your relationships at work.

Radical Candor Book Description
Radical Candor is an English guide for anyone who feels confused or drained by management. The author, Kim Scott, once led teams at Google and Apple, and she shares the lessons she learned there. Readers will discover clear, actionable advice that helps them build stronger teams and create a workplace where honesty and care coexist.
The guide draws directly from Scott’s time at two of Silicon Valley’s most innovative companies. It introduces a management style that balances direct criticism with sincere praise. This “sweet spot” avoids the traps of aggressive dominance and overly‑empathetic avoidance. Throughout the book, you will learn three simple principles: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters.
Each chapter includes real‑world examples, quick exercises, and a bonus “Radically Candid Performance Review” section. The revised edition adds a fresh preface and afterword that reflect today’s fast‑changing work environment. Moreover, leaders such as Sheryl Sandberg praise the book for helping teams do the best work of their lives.
