On this episode of the Radical Candor podcast, we're talking about combatting injustice at work so everyone can feel safe to just work. There are things each of us can do, today, to create the kind of workplace in which we can all do the best work of our lives, and enjoy working together.
Leaders can take active measures to prevent injustice. Observers can be upstanders, not silent bystanders. When someone is harmed by injustice, they can choose how to respond. When someone causes harm, they can address what they did in a way that makes them part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
Kim Scott's new book, Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair, and her new company Just Work, seek to educate people that it's everyone's job to fix workplace injustice. We all have a role to play. When we can parse the problem of workplace injustice it’s easier to begin to identify effective responses to each new challenge. Amy Sandler interviews Kim Scott and Trier Bryant about how to create more just workplaces.
Learn to recognize the difference between bias, prejudice, and bullying and to respond differently to each. Bias is “not meaning it,” prejudice is “meaning it,” and bullying is “being mean.”
The “I” statement invites the other person in, the “it” statement shows them where the fence is, and the “you” statement pushes them away.
Improvising Radical Candor, a partnership between Radical Candor and Second City Works, introduces The Feedback Loop (think Groundhog Day meets The Office), a 5-episode workplace comedy series starring David Alan Grier that brings to life Radical Candor’s simple framework for navigating candid conversations.
You’ll get an hour of hilarious content about a team whose feedback fails are costing them business; improv-inspired exercises to teach everyone the skills they need to work better together, and after-episode action plans you can put into practice immediately.
