Radical Candor

Kim Scott · 2017

Recommended by 3 people on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Gergely Orosz liked it
The definite book about giving good and candid feedback - and a very useful read for new(ish) managers. The book is a list of ideas around the theme of caring personally and challenging directly.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
