Amy Sandler on the Virtues and Value of “Caring Personally and Challenging Directly”

 

One of the biggest complaints people have about their job is the lack of feedback they receive, both positive and negative. Amy Sandler and the team Radical Candor believe in the power of “caring personally and challenging directly,” in valuing colleagues in a meaningful way and not being afraid to challenge them openly and honestly. The Radical Candor company was founded following the success of Kim Scott’s eponymous bestseller and today holds seminars and workshops to train people in the lessons and behaviors she espouses. In this Blue Sky podcast, Amy explains how she came to this work and provides lessons and examples of how to put the principles of Radical Candor into practice. Amy helps us understand how “ruinous apathy,” and “obnoxious aggression,” get in the way of constructive guidance at work. And as an added, if unrelated bonus, she also describes how, and why she has made it a practice to walk across hot coals seven times now.
