Radical Candor has been embraced by leaders across industries and organizations of all sizes, becoming a cultural touchstone that extends beyond the workplace into personal relationships.

The premise is simple: You don’t have to choose between being overly harsh or overly accommodating. By practicing Radical Candor—steering clear of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy—you can be both kind and direct at the same time.

Kim Scott, a former Google executive and leadership educator at Apple, introduced this powerful framework in 2017. Since then, she has gained international recognition and co-founded the Radical Candor executive education company, helping organizations put these principles into action.

At its core, Radical Candor is about balancing personal care with direct challenges. It encourages leaders to seek constructive criticism to refine their leadership while also providing meaningful feedback to help their teams grow. The approach emphasizes praise but doesn’t shy away from necessary critique—creating an environment where people thrive.

By fostering Radically Candid relationships, leaders can excel in their three key responsibilities:

• Cultivating a culture of Compassionate Candor
• Building strong, cohesive teams
• Driving results through collaboration

A must-read for top-performing organizations, Radical Candor has redefined leadership and management practices worldwide.
