10 Free Resources to Help You Practice Radical Candor
“Getting and giving impromptu feedback is more like brushing and flossing than getting a root canal,” Radical Candor author and co-founder Kim Scott says. “Don’t schedule it. Just ask for it and offer it consistently and immediately when it’s needed, and maybe you won’t ever have to get a root canal.”
But if you’re not in the habit of flossing every day, starting the routine is going to take some discipline and practice. Soliciting and providing feedback is the same way.
That’s why we’ve developed these guides for practicing Radical Candor. Feedback conversations don’t have to be painful like having a root canal — they can be maintenance like brushing and flossing.
If you commit to having regular fast and frequent feedback conversations with your team members, eventually these interactions will become second nature.
Until then you can refer to these free Radical Candor topic-specific resource guides to help you when you get stuck.
