Kim Scott

Anyone who has just started managing people and is quietly terrified.

What it actually says

  • Care personally and challenge directly at the same time — either one alone is a failure mode with its own name.
  • Ruinous empathy is the common one: being so kind about the work that nobody ever learns it was not good enough.
  • Feedback is cheap when it is immediate and private, and expensive when it is saved up for a review.

If you only read one chapter

Chapter 2. The rest is elaboration on the idea it sets out.
