## Source excerpt

Radical Candor How to Get What You Want by Saying What You Mean Author: Kim Scott The general idea of the book is that great leadership means caring personally while challenging directly. When I started reading the book, I figured out it's not that radical at all. It's about feedback, mostly constructive: "Radical Candor" is about giving feedback that is both kind and clear-helping people grow while building strong, trusting relationships.
