One of the hardest things to do in any relationship is give feedback. It\\u2019s always dicey. You don\\u2019t want to be too aggressive. You don\\u2019t want to hurt anyone\\u2019s feelings. But you also don\\u2019t want to be too indirect. 


That\\u2019s where radical candor comes in. This term comes from Kim Scott, who is the bestselling author of Radical Candor and Just Work. She has coached executives at Dropbox and Twitter, and has led teams at Google. In this conversation she\\u2019ll not only talk about how to speak with radical candor, but also how to avoid its evil cousins: ruinous empathy, manipulative insincerity, and obnoxious aggression. She\\u2019ll also talk about how to push for more equitable workplaces at all levels of an organization, how to speak up about diversity issues without ruining your career, and what to do if you\\u2019re the person who has created harm. Kim will also talk about the difficult wake-up call that led her from her first book to her second.


This episode is part of the Work Life series we are running here on the show. In conjunction with this series on the podcast, we\\u2019re launching a Work Life challenge over on the Ten Percent Happier app. We\\u2019ll be dealing with issues such as feedback, imposter syndrome, jerks at work, burnout, productivity shame, and more. You can download the app here, or wherever you get your apps to join the challenge for free.
