If you've watched our Radical Candor video and wondered about the full stories behind the clips we included, you're in luck! We've got the complete versions to share with you, starting with our featured Obnoxious Aggression story.

Obnoxious Aggression means Challenging Directly without showing that you Care Personally. Joe Dunn, one of our Radical Candor evangelists, tells the story of a time he gave Obnoxiously Aggressive feedback in a meeting. We think everyone can relate to how he ended up in this position and can probably remember a time they reacted similarly. Joe explains the affect his Obnoxious Aggression had, inspiring us to strive for Radical Candor in similar situations.
