In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Kim Scott, author of the book Radical Candor about what radical candor is and how it can be applied in teams and relationships.

Why listen to this podcast:

• Radical candor is the behaviour which comes about when people both care personally and are able to challenge directly in a relationship

• Telling each other about problems or praising each other in a way that is productive is difficult and seldom done well

• Radical candor is first and foremost about soliciting feedback and criticism - ask the question “what can I do, or stop doing, that will make it easier to work with me?”

• It is even more important to give public praise than it is to give private criticism – recognise and encourage positive behaviour

• The best way to encourage radical candor is to be open to it yourself – demonstrate the behaviour you want to encourage in others
