Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Radical Canter Podcast. I'm Kim Scott. I'm Jason Rosoff. And I'm Amy Sandler. And before you listen to this episode, we have a big favor to ask, please do like, follow, and subscribe to the podcast. Wherever you listen, it really does make a difference.

Thank you in advance.

So today we've got a question from a listener about something that we haven't talked about much,

which is nepotism, and more specifically how nepotism affects your ability to practice radical candor.

Before I go into the question, we have kind of the textbook definition of nepotism affects your ability to practice radical candor. Before I go into the question, we have

kind of the textbook definition of nepotism, but Kim, do you want to give your own definition of

nepotism in the workplace? Yeah, I mean, I guess there's two different definitions. Sometimes you have

family business and there's kind of, I guess,

what I would call expected nepotism or legitimate nepotism. And then there's another definition

of nepotism where you give unfair preference or advantages to people who either are in your family

or for whatever reason who are your quote unquote favorites.

I don't know.

The definition of nepotism.

In the workplace is when someone in a position of power gives jobs, promotions, or other

opportunities to friends or family members instead of based on merit.

which we'll talk about, but at a high level, this includes things like lowered morale,

decreased productivity, damage trust, increased turnover, and a whole host of other issues.
