In This Episode

Kim and Russ talk through some steps for building a culture of Radical Candor across your team or organization.

First, focus on yourself. Kim and Russ tell stories about how they look inward -- Kim talks about the feedback she got when she was working on the book, and Russ tells a story about getting feedback from Kim on an email he sent. Everyone makes mistakes, but by looking within and helping call each other out, we can get it right more of the time.

Next, Kim and Russ talk about spreading Radical Candor outward. They answer a listener question about causing change as one person in an organization, that is "nice".

The episode ends with specific tips for building a culture of Radical Candor.
