50 Titles per year book club - 12th Reading - Radical Candor - Kim Scott

This book by Kim Scott is very interesting. I don't remember where I got the recommendation to read it from, but I got in on my Ibooks and I read it in about two weeks. She is very experienced, she worked for Google AND Apple and was very successful. 
The book is about leadership, and how to communicate to your subordinates and you superiors in a proper manner, always candid. She presents her methods for feedback, and how to act upon many different types of conflicts and solve many problems. 



The "Radical Candor" method is one that is based on the prioritization of the right things exposed on the right time and in the proper manner to the right people. Not everything has be said all the time, and there are ways to conduct different types of situations as a good leader. It is a delicate balance to keep your team engaged and motivated focus on difficult tasks and goals. Therefore, a skilled leadership thrives in an environment of fast paced work and dynamic structure such as Google and Apple.
Kim Scott just released another book called "Just Work - Get Sh*t done" that I am looking forward to read soon. I don't like the bad word, but usually the sequels of the books are always good. Also, after this launching, Radical Candor was included in the Kindle Unlimited plan. Enjoy it!
