About the Book Radical Candor tackles a problem every manager faces: how to be honest with someone without being harsh, and how to be kind without avoiding the truth. Kim Scott calls this balance "Radical Candor" — caring personally while challenging directly — and builds a practical framework around it that helps managers give feedback, build trust, and hold their teams accountable without losing their humanity. Drawing on her own experience managing teams at Google and later coaching executives at companies including Dropbox, Twitter, and Apple, Scott fills the book with real conversations, common pitfalls, and step-by-step guidance that readers can put into practice immediately.

It has become a staple recommendation for new managers, HR teams, and leadership development programmes worldwide, praised for being refreshingly practical rather than theoretical.
