Radical Candor: How to be a kickass boss without losing your humanity or crushing your team
Gender Conversations
PART ONE
Our live workshop begins with storytelling around Kim Scott's first-hand experience with this dilemma. Then we lay out the framework of Radical Candor and give our improvisational actors/facilitators the chance to bring that framework to life on stage for the workshop attendees. This allows us to use the power of humor to point out all the ways we fail and succeed at communication.
