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:
1. Create a culture of Compassionate Candor
2. Build a cohesive team
3. Achieve results collaboratively
Required reading for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide.
Dès l'instant où l’on commence à parler, on nous apprend que si l’on n’a rien de gentil à dire, il vaut mieux se taire. Si le conseil vaut pour la vie courante, appliqué au management il se révèle catastrophique. C’est ainsi que certaines mises à l’écart peuvent se produire sans que le salarié sache ce qu’on lui reproche.
Responsable en vue chez Google puis chez Apple, où elle a développé une formation interne sur le management, Kim Scott nous invite à repenser nos postures managériales grâce au concept de « Radical Candor » : la sincérité bienveillante.
La sincérité bienveillante procède de l’attention personnelle et de la remise en question frontale. Elle permet au manager d’instaurer la confiance nécessaire pour pouvoir, en toute franchise, guider ses collaborateurs dans leur travail afin qu’ils s’accomplissent et obtiennent de meilleurs résultats.
Dans cette optique, cet ouvrage vous livre les clés pour bien diriger votre équipe :
• bâtir des relations sincères et bienveillantes ;
• encourager les échanges, critiques si nécessaires, pour mieux guider vos collaborateurs ;
• comprendre la motivation de chaque membre de votre équipe ;
• mettre en place une gestion collaborative pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats de tous.
Foisonnant d’exemples drôles et pertinents, malin, rythmé et invitant à l’action, En toute franchise vous apportera une grande bouffée d’air et l’élan pour repartir de l’avant, vous et votre équipe.
From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work—how we can recognize, attack, and eliminate workplace injustice—and transform our careers and organizations in the process.
We—all of us—consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution.
Just Work is Kim Scott's new book, revealing a practical framework for both respecting everyone’s individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.
