How to Build a Culture of Radical Candor
Team avoids giving feedback? Normalization of peer-to-peer feedback and growth.
About this session
When teams prioritize politeness over honesty, critical performance gaps go unaddressed and resentment builds behind the scenes. This session provides a structured path to replace polite silence with direct, caring feedback that focuses on growth rather than blame. By the end, the group will have defined their own norms for how to challenge each other directly while maintaining personal support.
Why it works
The process works by de-personalizing the feedback loop, moving it from a high-stakes confrontation to a collaborative problem-solving exercise. By practicing the specific mechanics of radical candor in real-time, team members overcome the initial fear of conflict and see the immediate value of clarity over ambiguity.
What you’ll walk away with

- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
