Order of Operations in Radical Candor

Be willing to solicit feedback first (23:50)

Focus on the good stuff. Give praise first - focus on success (25:00)

Offer criticism (28:20)

Feedback is a gift -

Be Humble (you may not be right) (29:23)

That’s why it’s called ‘candor’ and not ‘truth’. You may be wrong.

Be helpful (31:00)

Do it immediately (32:53)

Do it in person (33:10)

80% of communication is nonverbal

Respond to their reaction

What does this look like when it’s done successfully? (35:15)

Situation - Behavior - Impact (not about personality traits)

How do we get better at receiving and learning from the feedback we receive

First practice asking for feedback. “What could I do or stop doing that would make it easier to work with me?” - What’s your go-to question? (40:00)
Embrace the discomfort. Don’t get defensive. “Listen with the intent to understand, not to respond.” (41:49)
Reward the candor. Publically. (45:25)
