From the time we learn to speak, we’re told that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. When you become a manager, it’s your job to say it--and your obligation.
Author Kim Scott was an executive at Google and then at Apple, where she worked with a team to develop a class on how to be a good boss. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, Radical Candor.
Radical Candor is a simple idea: to be a good boss, you have to Care Personally at the same time that you Challenge Directly. When you challenge without caring it’s obnoxious aggression; when you care without challenging it’s ruinous empathy. When you do neither it’s manipulative insincerity.
This simple framework can help you build better relationships at work, and fulfill your three key responsibilities as a leader: creating a culture of feedback (praise and criticism), building a cohesive team, and achieving results you’re all proud of.
Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Taken from years of the author’s experience, and distilled clearly giving actionable lessons to the reader; it shows managers how to be successful while retaining their humanity, finding meaning in their job, and creating an environment where people both love their work and their colleagues.

Practical leadership frameworks that address corporate communication and management strategy have significantly influenced modern organizational culture. Author Kim Malone Scott established a prominent presence in business literature by developing actionable management models that balance direct feedback with personal empathy, most notably in her book Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity.
Scott earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from Princeton University and completed her MBA at Harvard Business School. Her early career spanned diverse international and entrepreneurial endeavors, including managing a paediatric clinic in war-torn Kosovo, establishing a diamond cutting factory in Russia, and co-founding Juice Software, where she served as chief executive officer. She also led business development efforts at Delta Three and Capital Thinking.
Transitioning into executive leadership in Silicon Valley, Scott led online sales and operations for Google's AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick divisions. She subsequently joined the faculty at Apple University, where she created and taught the course Managing at Apple.

Scott's non-fiction writing combines operational lessons from high-growth technology companies with practical advice on interpersonal communication and organizational health. Her primary themes focus on building workplace cultures where managers care personally while challenging directly, as well as recognizing and confronting bias, prejudice, and bullying to foster equity. In addition to her non-fiction business literature, Scott has authored novels, including Virtual Love and The Househusband, which explore executive dynamics, professional ambitions, and personal relationships.
