“What could I do or stop doing that would make it easier to work with me?” 💭 This simple yet powerful question can transform your leadership. Asking for feedback isn't just about improving how you work - it's about creating an open, collaborative culture where your team feels heard and valued. It’s not about being perfect, but about showing you care and want to grow together. Start the conversation, build trust, and create a feedback loop that fosters growth, not just for yourself but for everyone around you. Want to learn more and dive deeper into fostering a feedback-driven culture? Explore Radical Candor feedback training to learn how you can build stronger relationships with your team.

Over the years, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t just about making the big decisions - it’s about the small, everyday behaviors that create trust, transparency, and growth. Here are some of the leadership habits that have worked for me and our team at Radical Candor®: 1. Listening First: One of the most impactful things I’ve done is set aside time for regular 1:1 meetings. It’s during these moments that I get the real pulse of what’s going on with the team. The weekly check-ins give us space to talk openly, not just about work, but about how we’re all doing. It’s in these conversations that trust gets built. 2. Being Transparent: There have been plenty of times when I didn’t have all the answers, and instead of pretending, I’ve learned that the best approach is just to be upfront. Being transparent with the team - whether it’s about a decision or a challenge - has shown them that I trust them, and it’s created an environment where we can work together to figure things out. 3. Radical Candor in Action: One thing I’m particularly proud of is the “Speak Truth to Power” meeting Kim Scott and I recently held with the team. It’s not always easy, but giving our team the chance to tell us directly what we should continue, stop, or start doing has been invaluable. I led a session for Kim, and she did one for me - it's been a great way to make sure we're practicing Radical Candor with the team, and they know their voices matter. 4. Recognizing Effort, Not Just Results: We’ve implemented a Slack bot for weekly StandUps where we share updates and also give shoutouts. These moments of public praise aren’t just for the big wins - they're for the hard work and the daily contributions that often go unnoticed. It’s making a real difference in how connected the team feels. 5. Bet on Growth: One of my core beliefs is that a leader’s most crucial job is to draw out the best in their teammates. Whether it’s through intentional development or just giving people the space to try new things, I’ve seen firsthand how betting on the team’s long-term growth leads to unexpected positive results. At the end of the day, it’s these small, consistent habits that build a strong team culture. What leadership habits have made the biggest difference for you?

Happy World Animal Day! At Radical Candor, we believe that caring personally extends beyond our teams - it includes the animals and environment we share our planet with. Just like providing clear feedback helps people grow, protecting and preserving the animals in our world helps all living beings thrive. What actions are you taking to care personally and challenge directly in your efforts to make a difference for our planet’s creatures? 🧡 #RadicalCandor #WorldAnimalDay #Conservation

Leaders should be alert for mobbing in their organizations by looking for three indicators: 1️⃣ High performers are usually the target of mobbing, so leaders should watch for in-group/out-group behavior that excludes and attempts to alienate high performers. 2️⃣ The mob will attempt to push high-performing peers out the door and then huddle together to keep the door closed. Worse yet, an organization’s people systems and practices might seal the door shut. Workplace mobs often use HR or leaders to sabotage or undermine the target. 3️⃣ All of these behaviors may be happening at once and may not be noticed at their onset. When these behaviors conspire and go unnoticed, a team or organization is in trouble. #StopBullying #radicalrespect

Investigate why the people you’ve worked hard to recruit and retain don’t want to work for you any longer—whether it’s mistakes you’ve made, mistakes others in your organization have made, or problems endemic to your workplace culture.

Your voice matters. Voting is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference and have your say in the future of our communities and our world. Leadership is about action, and every vote counts in shaping the changes we want to see. Take a moment to make your voice heard - encourage others to do the same. #YourVoiceMatters #Vote #RadicalCandor #Election2024

I love leading teams and over 30 years, I’ve tried to capture important leadership lessons I’ve learned. Every experience has taught me new lessons, ideas, new techniques. — Dan Greene

Leaders are often discouraged from showing vulnerability, apologizing, or admitting mistakes. This outdated mindset can create a culture of denial and hinder growth. On this week's Radical Candor Podcast, Kim Scott talks with Jacob Morgan about his book "Leading With Vulnerability." Good leaders know vulnerability is essential for building trust and fostering strong relationships. And, the best way to foster vulnerability and psychological safety is to lead by example. Leaders who are willing to show their own vulnerability create a culture where others feel safe to do the same. Tune in to hear Kim and Jacob talk about why those who lead with vulnerability create a culture where everyone can thrive. 🎧 --> https://lnkd.in/gGtXmyEJ #LeadershipDevelopment #VulnerableLeadership #RadicalCandor #Podcast #TrustBuilding
