In this episode, which is the 37th in David Robert´s CALM leadership series he looks at 3 ways to use radical candor to build and maintain better relationships. Using examples, he demonstrates how you can care personally while also challenging directly.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Saying nothing to the person but quietly saying something to someone else is manipulative Insincerity.
• Radical candor is about giving people what they need.
• Be a partner, a coach for your team members.
• Recognise achievement in a way that is meaningful for each individual.
• Your people are your customers too. When it comes to rewards and career advancement, they have expectations that need to be met.

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
