Being nice, was not nice at all. Not only does it hurt the company, but it also hurts the person who isn't receiving important feedback. We rolled out the Radical Candor framework at a 600-person company meeting six months ago. Despite having only applied modest reinforcement to date, we are already seeing the benefits. People will often start a conversation with \"In the spirit of radical candor...\" I love that it has allowed us to grab onto that phrase to transition toward a radically candid company. I can't think of a better way to improve our culture and, most important, help our people improve and develop.

In a nicely compact 2x2 with just eight words, she perfectly summarized what I had known my whole career, but just didn't have the right way to say it. To me, Radical Candor was business poetry. Success in business is completely dependent on having the hard conversations and exposing the truth about what needs to happen in your organization. We all know how difficult those conversations can be and they are less effective if your team can't hear the message. Radical candor is about combining a desire to push the organization and achieve the vision while communicating in a way that lets your team know you care personally about them. I am so pleased when I hear an employee start a conversation, \"In the vein of radical candor...\", as I know we will be speaking the truth and on a path to accomplishing great things.\" -- \n\u003cb\u003eChrista Quarles\u003c\/b\u003e, CEO of Open Table \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"With Radical Candor, Kim has bottled some of Google's magic and shared it with the world.\" -- \n\u003cb\u003eShona Brown\u003c\/b\u003e, former SVP Business Operations at Google \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Her seven-step methodology--listen, clarify, debate, decide, persuade, execute, learn--is the tool by which bosses and employees get work done well.
