Book content is great... Review is for physical book itself
Book content (5 stars). I'm a leader and was looking for something new to fresh up my style. This book was great with lots of stories and advice. I have listened to the audio book once but now I plan to read the book again this time with notes. Highly recommend!!! Physical book: I is literally not cut straight. (See pictures) I'm barely even OCD but come on... Where the heck did this book come from? It came encased in plastic that wasn't vacuum sealed (not that I really care about this part). However, the top of the book is not cut flat. I even grabbed a level to show. Crazy annoying for a $11 book!

    So I bought this book thinking I was buying “Fierce Conversations”. Turns out I was buying the wrong book - which turned out to be the best mistake I ever made because this book is way way better! This is hands down one of the best books I have read on leadership. The author takes a straight shooter, no nonsense, no BS, no pontificating approach to how to be a kick a$$ Manager! It’s great for leaders of all levels and walks through some foundational things (in a no nonsense way that doesn’t make you feel stupid) and then gets into how to actually establish trust with your direct reports. As in “say this” and “do this”. It is a very practical guidebook. I used an entire highlighter on every nugget I found - some pages are entirely highlighted!

    I will recommend this book to anyone I know. It is by far the most practical advice on getting things done, without leaving bodies in your wake.

    Helps professionals how to share feedback but tactfully so that is mutually beneficial instead of supressing the information and having side effects later.

    Speak up. Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind. Radical candor exposes the dangers of remaining silent and not giving needed feedback. We all need to learn to provide feedback with caring.

    5.0 out of 5 stars powerful ideas on how to lead with honesty and kindness
    Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2021
    This book has popped up many times on suggested reading lists for leaders.
    After reading it, I can see why as it is packed with powerful ideas on how to use honesty and kindness to help our teams and ourselves reach the fullness of our potential.
    What sticks out for me are the suggested approaches coupled with many real-life examples.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Da leggere e da riflettere per migliorare, consigliato!!
    Reviewed in Italy on April 13, 2019
    Ho adorato questo libro/manuale. È stato "difficile" da leggere perché personalmente mi ha stimolato tante riflessioni sugli errori che ho fatto in passato. Il quadrante del Radical Candor da imparare a memoria e applicare. Molto belli tutti gli aneddoti utilizzati per esemplificare. Uniche due note critiche: la struttura in due parti (prima la "teoria" e poi la "pratica") non l'ho trovata molto utile, avrei preferito le due parti più mischiate; e ovviamente la prospettiva è molto americana, quindi molte cose si applicano solo in caso di aziende o gruppi molto grandi e molto dinamiche (oltre alla questione del licenziamento, che ovviamente proviene da una cultura molto diversa dalla nostra).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely applicable to Germany/Europe - und ziemlich super
    Reviewed in Germany on October 21, 2019
    Der Hintergrund der Autorin, der Titel und auch die Art, wie das Buch verkauft wird, bieten definitiv eine Menge Futter für Vorurteile, schließlich wirkt das in der Tat alles zunächst sehr amerikanisch - und dann auch noch geprägt durch diese verdächtige Silicon-Valley-Kultur.

    Für mich als Manager in Deutschland ist Radical Candor dennoch das mit Abstand beste Buch über Führung, das ich bisher gelesen habe. Das gilt vor allem für den ersten, eher theoretischen Teil, weil der eine ebenso fundierte wie praktische Anleitung dafür bietet, wie unterschiedliche Menschen verschiedener Hierarchiestufen am Arbeitsplatz miteinander umgehen sollten: mit persönlicher Wertschätzung und Offenheit in der Sache. Das ist weit entfernt von "dem Chef mal die Meinung zu sagen" und ähnlichen Ideen.

    Zudem bietet das Buch auch sehr konkrete Tools und Hilfestellungen zum Umgang mit (kommunikativ) schwierigen Situationen - und gerade für Führungskräfte eine detaillierte Anleitung für das Vorhaben, eine Kultur zu schaffen, in der eben niemand Angst haben muss auszudrücken, was er denkt.

    Die Beispiele dazu stammen nicht nur aus den USA, sondern auch etwa aus Japan, einer Kultur also, die sich mit Radical Candor deutlich schwerer tut als wir doch ohnehin als sehr direkt verschriene Deutschen.

    Also: volle Punktzahl, weil das Konzept so wertvoll ist, auch wenn für mich persönlich der erste Teil des Buches spannender war als der doch recht kleinteilige zweite Teil.
