What is Radical Candor?

New to Radical Candor? Here’s the quick and dirty on how to Care Personally and Challenge Directly to do the best work of your life and build the best relationships of your career.

The Radical Candor Checklist

Even though we’re physically distant at work, that doesn’t mean we can’t cultivate caring and candid relationships with peers, managers and direct reports.

Today’s checklist is about checking in during virtual meetings as a way to show care for the people you work with, and to understand what’s important to them at that moment.

Tip 1: Keep it simple: Red — super distracted; Yellow — kind of here; Green — ready to go!

Tip 2: For small teams, spend 5 minutes at the top of the meeting asking everyone how they’re doing. If you get challenging feedback, take time in the meeting to address it!

Tip 3: Use tools like Chat, Word Clouds, and getting into pairs/small groups via breakout rooms to get pulse checks for larger groups.
