(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Why is feedback between a supervisor and employee often strained? Is there a simple approach? Kim Scott will discuss straightforward strategies contained in her best-seller Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity during her Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Wednesday, February 28 at 2:00pm.

Radical Candor and her 2021 book Just Work are available at the Ocean County Library. Kim’s novels include Virtual Love, The Househusband and The Measurement Problem.

The California-based entrepreneur and writer will explain her Radical Candor approach to feedback that aims to help managers and workers cultivate an atmosphere of compassionate candor, build a cohesive team, and achieve results through collaboration.

She’ll provide practical tips for soliciting criticism, issuing critiques, and gauging the effect of job-related dialogue. She’ll suggest ways to avoid couching criticisms in terms that suggest bias, prejudice, and bullying.

Prior to becoming a New York Times best-selling author, Kim was a CEO coach for digital firms including Twitter and Dropbox, worked on AdSense, DoubleClick and YouTube teams for Google, and had a seat on the faculty of Apple University. Her Radical Candor LLC firm and Radical Respect workshops share the goal of workplace harmony.
