Story
Facebook VP Julie Zhuo remembers the moment when she was asked to lead a team. She felt like she’d won the golden ticket - until reality came crashing in. She was just 25 and had barely any experience being managed, let alone managing others. Her coworkers became her employees overnight, and she faced a series of anxiety-inducing firsts, including agonising over whether to hire an interviewee, seeking the respect of reports who were cleverer than her and having to fire someone she liked.

Hard work is irrelevant. Be radically honest. Adequate performance gets a generous severance. And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail-order service into a streaming superpower - with 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than Disney. Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Publisher's Summary
The old adage is ingrained in us that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. While this advice may work for home life, as Kim Scott has seen firsthand, it is a disaster when adopted by managers in the workplace.
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 employees develop their skills and boundaries of success.
Great bosses have strong relationships with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get stuff done, and understand why it matters.
Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Drawing on years of firsthand experience, and distilled clearly to give actionable lessons to the listener, Radical Candor shows how to be successful while retaining your integrity and humanity. Radical Candor is the perfect handbook for those who are looking to find meaning in their job and create an environment where people both love their work and their colleagues and are motivated to strive to ever greater success.

Grounding Experience
Listening to Radical candor was clearly a grounding experience. I was able to introspect my behaviour throughout my 8 years of work life. This book definitely has a great impact on me and I really think that my behavior would be changed for good and people would be able to notice it too. Such an awesome book!!
I always love to be grounded, and I am sure I will listen to it again and again, especially when I lack empathy, whenever my actions are not appropriate to the people around.

Interesting but not amazing
Normally when I hear a very good book, I keep registering bookmarks. To hear later all the bookmark (clips) later and hear again an idea. Not the case with this book. Many ideas are like evident, many more work maybe in places like Google or Apple (where she worked), not in a government environment for example where you don't have the flexibility of this companies. So I don't remember a single idea that I would like to implement with my team (I am in charge of 10 people), or something that I would think is a good idea to try. So, it an "ok" book and maybe you can implement ideas in your place and you have the flexibility to do it. For me, after hearing it, and if I had the chance, I would prefer not to have read it.

Very Interesting. A bit too long
Amazing business book on how to be a manager. Management 101 you could say. It talks about the basics and core practices of being a good manager.
My only grief is that it felt too long compared to other books. Perhaps it was how stories were mixed with theory that it felt longer than it was.

Helpful Framework, Poor Narration
The framework presented in Radical Candor is useful to keep conversations genuine and on track.
While the author wrote a helpful book, she should not have narrated it. A skilled narrator would have made this book much more enjoyable.

A practical guide to create high performing healthy work cultures
really like this book as it focuses on helping people grow through good feedback in all directions. Implementing a radical candor culture will help you achieve a psychologically safe work environment which according to the Aristotle project at google is the single common feature of highly effective teams. It is filled with easy to relate stories which are not simple anecdotal entertainment but illustrate perfectly well the operating principles. It also makes a good use of many simple techniques developed throughout the Silicon Valley putting them together in an excellently orchestrates fashion.
When reading the book I found for the first time an external support to my pledges against the hype on identifying high potentials in organizations and instead understanding the phenomenon as growth trajectories. It still has a slight bias towards younger people which I believe is not always true. Some people need to gain experience in many fields until they can put all these experiences together and move into a steep growth trajectory.
I highly recommend this book specially to Managers and HR professionals that struggle to find their way into creating highly performing cultures.
The only minus would be the pitch of the narrator that can be at times a bit annoying.

Repetitive and a dreadful voice......
Some good, if not new concepts in this book. There are far better books out there. Way too much reference to her former employer. Other books give a broader perspective than this one.
However the voice is simply awful. Would have been better to get someone else to read this. Put me off......it has taken me far longer to listen to it as I can only take this voice in very small amounts.....
Disappointed.......

Interesting concept - could've been a blog
Two things for me:
1. Like most of these types of types of books, the author thinks she's stumbled across something so mind-blowing that it needs a huge book about it. Don't get me wrong, the concept is interesting and I've found it useful in my day to day, but it could've been about two sides of A4. There's a short YouTube video that explains the concept (also by Kim Scott) that gets the main thrust across concisely in about 5 mins...I'd do that.
2. Perhaps it's my British sensibility, but the author's voice is incredibly difficult to listen to. The mid-west drawl is a bit much for me - perhaps a personal thing but it grated to the point that I lost my concentration a fair amount and had to stop listening every so often.
As I say, great idea, useful concept, didn't need to be a book and needed a different VO artist.

Makes Management Fun Again!
I've been a manager now for around 3 years. It was exciting when I first started but as time went on, it felt slow and boring. I started considering side stepping to a non-management role until this book was recommended to me.
Radical Candor has a strong perspective on how much influence you can have as a manager. How you support your direct reports to be at their best and how you can make yourself be at your best.
Great read and a lot of learnings to take away. Thanks Kim! 😁

A gripping and inspiring transformation story packed into a small book. Well read story by the author.
Unfortunately, the book doesn’t come with a PDF with all the meditation at the end of each chapter. Without a writer cheat sheet it’s difficult to follow them.

Kim has fantastic experience and very clear ideas about how to have a good relationship with employees and your employer.
I wish I had had this book when I started.
The only mistake here is that she decided to read it herself. A good manager is not necessarily a good book-reader, and the idea that "if I read it myself it will be more genuine" is mistaken. The content was so good I listened anyhow.
