Radical Candor is a management philosophy developed by Kim Scott that emphasizes the importance of open and honest communication in the workplace. It encourages leaders to care personally for their team members while also challenging them directly. This approach fosters a culture of trust and accountability, allowing for constructive feedback and growth. The concept is often illustrated using a two-by-two matrix, where one axis represents "care personally" and the other "challenge directly." The ideal position is in the "Radical Candor" quadrant, where leaders can provide honest feedback without being abrasive, ultimately leading to better team dynamics and performance.
