Bringing Radical Respect to Your Team with Kim Scott

What's Next! with Tiffani Bova

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.

This week, I welcome Kim Scott back for the third time on the podcast. She is the author of a new book called Radical Respect: How to Work Together Better, and of course, Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity. She is the co-founder of the company Radical Candor. Kim was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University. Before that, she led AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick teams at Google.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone struggling with giving or receiving feedback in a professional setting.

TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… respect is critical in the workplace, especially when there are many differing opinions and styles. But how do you practically go about fostering a culture of respect? It’s not by keeping your opinions to yourself. In fact, Kim says sharing feedback and making space for disagreement is a sign of respect for one another.

Key takeaways:

• Respect begins with unconditional regard for humanity and it shouldn’t need to be earned

• We can disagree and do it in a respectful way

• Kim’s three steps to approach a boss to share criticism are: solicit feedback, focus on the good, ask if it’s a good time to share your thoughts

WHAT I LOVE MOST… Kim says you can’t address all of the unconscious biases in the world, but you can (and should) address the ones that will get in the way of your team working together.
