How to Build a Culture of Radical Candor and Feedback
Managers avoid tough conversations. Turn feedback from a scary event into a helpful habit.
About this session
When managers avoid difficult conversations to spare feelings, small issues often calcify into systemic performance problems. This session provides a practical framework for teams to transition from infrequent, high-stakes reviews to a daily habit of direct and supportive feedback.
Why it works
The structure shifts feedback from a top-down critique to a peer-to-peer exchange by de-escalating the emotional weight of difficult conversations. By practicing specific phrasing in a low-stakes setting, participants build the muscle memory needed to address friction points in real-time before they escalate.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 3-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
