Summary

We get a lot of questions about how folks can practice Radical Candor with their bosses as many people are reluctant to give feedback to their managers. It's true that it can be really daunting, and a little risky, to practice Radical Candor with your boss, but it’s such an important skill. If you can share feedback with your boss, you’ll have a much stronger working relationship, enjoy your work more, and be able to do better work together. So, how do you do it? On this episode of the Radical Candor podcast Kim, Jason and Amy discuss clearing the cruft and the art of upwards feedback. View the show notes >> Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Radical Canter Podcast.
0:07.4	I am Kim Scott, co-founder of Radical Cander and Just Work.
0:12.3	And I'm Jason Roseoff, CEO and co-founder of Radical Cander.

1:05.8	So finally, you clear all the work, anxiety and stress out of your brain. And you really only get the second

1:23.4	Brandy, maybe we can make this a follow-up episode, which is how to clear the cruff.
