Radical Candor: Be a Kick-A** Boss Without Losing Your Humanity (2019)
I love Kim Scott’s Radical Candor – it’s a game-changer for nonprofit leaders who want to build trust while driving real performance. This book shows you how to care personally AND challenge directly without losing your humanity.
Key takeaways that transform leadership:
Care Personally + Challenge Directly = Radical Candor (the sweet spot)
Immediate, specific feedback builds stronger teams than annual reviews
Psychological safety actually increases accountability, not decreases it
