LLM-based coding-assistance tools have been out for ~2 years now. Many developers have been reporting that this is dramatically increasing their productivity, up to 5x'ing/10x'ing it.It seems clear that this multiplier isn't field-wide, at least. There's no corresponding increase in output, after all.This would make sense. If you're doing anything nontrivial (i. e., anything other than adding minor boilerplate features to your codebase), LLM tools are fiddly. Out-of-the-box solutions don't Just Work for that purpose. You need to significantly adjust your workflow to make use of them, if that's even possible. Most programmers wouldn't know how to do that/wouldn't care to bother.It's therefore reasonable to assume that a 5x/10x greater output, if it exists, is unevenly distributed, mostly affecting power users/people particularly talented at using LLMs.Empirically, we likewise don't seem to be living in the world where the whole software industry is suddenly 5-10 times [...] The original text contained 1 footnote which was omitted from this narration. --- First published: March 4th, 2025 Source: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/tqmQTezvXGFmfSe7f/how-much-are-llms-actually-boosting-real-world-programmer --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
Second City Works presents "Getting to Yes, And" on WGN Plus
Kelly welcomes back fan-favorite Kim Scott to the podcast to discuss how she decided to reframe and significantly rewrite her book “Just Work” to turn it into “Radical Respect.” “Collaboration is essential to any great human accomplishment.” “Words matter. You are not the word dictator.” “Self-righteous shaming is an act of vengeance, not repair.”
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Two easy things that maybe Just Work to improve AI discourse, published by jacobjacob on June 8, 2024 on LessWrong. So, it seems AI discourse on X / Twitter is getting polarised. This is bad. Especially bad is how some engage in deliberate weaponization of discourse, for political ends. At the same time, I observe: AI Twitter is still a small space. There are often important posts that have only ~100 likes, ~10-100 comments, and maybe ~10-30 likes on top comments. Moreover, it seems to me little sane comments, when they do appear, do get upvoted. This is... crazy! Consider this thread: A piece of legislation is being discussed, with major ramifications for regulation of frontier models, and... the quality of discourse hinges on whether 5-10 random folks show up and say some sensible stuff on Twitter!? It took me a while to see these things. I think I had a cached view of "political discourse is hopeless, the masses of trolls are too big for anything to matter, unless you've got some specialised lever or run one of these platforms". I now think I was wrong. Just like I was wrong for many years about the feasibility of public and regulatory support for taking AI risk seriously. This begets the following hypothesis: AI discourse might currently be small enough that we could basically just brute force raise the sanity waterline. No galaxy-brained stuff. Just a flood of folks making... reasonable arguments. It's the dumbest possible plan: let's improve AI discourse by going to places with bad discourse and making good arguments. I recognise this is a pretty strange view, and does counter a lot of priors I've built up hanging around LessWrong for the last couple years. If it works, it's because of a surprising, contingent, state of affairs. In a few months or years the numbers might shake out differently. But for the time being, plausibly the arbitrage is real. Furthermore, there's of course already a built-in feature, with beautiful mechanism design and strong buy-in from leadership, for increasing the sanity waterline: Community Notes. It's a feature that allows users to add "notes" to tweets providing context, and then only shows those notes if ~they get upvoted by people who usually disagree. Yet... outside of massive news like the OpenAI NDA scandal, Community Notes is barely being used for AI discourse. I'd guess it's probably no more interesting reason than that few people use community notes overall, multiplied by few of those people engaging in AI discourse. Again, plausibly, the arbitrage is real. If you think this sounds compelling, here's two easy ways that might just work to improve AI discourse: 1. Make an account on X. When you see invalid or bad faith arguments on AI: reply with valid arguments. Upvote other such replies. 2. Join Community Notes at this link. Start writing and rating posts. (You'll to need to rate some posts before you're allowed to write your own.) And, above all: it doesn't matter what conclusion you argue for; as long as you make valid arguments. Pursue asymmetric strategies, the sword that only cuts if your intention is true. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

In today's Episode of ‘How to become a competent DEI practitioner', Ashanti Bentil-Dhue and her guest Trier Bryant delve into the world of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Trier brings a wealth of experience and insights from her background in working with top organisations such as the U.S. Air Force and having a role as Chief People Officer. Today, Trier shares valuable perspectives on the importance of having a People First mindset in leadership, the nuances between DEI and the need for competency in the DEI field. Join Ashanti and Trier as they explore the challenges and opportunities in the DEI space and discuss the role of accountability and competence in driving meaningful change. Stay tuned for a thought-provoking conversation with Trier Bryant. “And so if you are a true people centric people first leader, that is the root of everything that you're doing. And so your people have identities, your people are nothing but a sum of their experiences of who they are, and their life, coming into the workplace and to ignore that would be a huge mistake. And there's implications of that. And so you can create real tangible value by having a People First mindset when it comes to leadership, understanding that diversity, equity and inclusion are absolutely a part of that and they're not synonyms.” Episode Highlights: DEI initiatives can become exclusive if not approached inclusively, which may inadvertently exclude majority groups and lead to inefficacy. Understanding the majority's experiences within an organization is crucial, as it helps identify areas for meaningful change and improvement in DEI efforts. Organizations should invest in their DEI leaders' professional development, treating it as they would for any other competency in the organization's learning and development strategy. About Trier Bryant: Trier Bryant is a people-first leadership & inclusion expert and the founder of TrierBryant.com, a consulting firm that advises organizations on strategies and tactics to improve their workplace culture. Trier is also the co-founder of Just Work, a company that provides coaching and workshops to create more collaborative and equitable work environments. Trier has an extensive track record spearheading DEI & Inclusion initiatives at top organizations including Goldman Sachs, Twitter, and the U.S. Air Force. She also serves on the Board for Athena SPACs and Campaign Zero. Trier has been featured as an influential voice on leadership and DEI by publications including USA Today, CNN and Fortune.

In the bestselling book Radical Candor, author Kim Scott laid out a simple framework for how to create, foster, and thrive in a culture that effectively gives and receives feedback—direct, clear, concise, and actionable. However, when you write a book about feedback, well, you get a lot of feedback, and indeed she did. Rather than ignoring or hiding from it, however, Kim decided to do the hard work of internalizing and processing it with the result being her latest book, Just Work. We had the pleasure of talking with Kim about just work, as well as hearing about the personal journey and experiences that motivated her to write it.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month! On this episode of the Radical Candor podcast, we're dropping a bonus episode from Kim's Just Work podcast featuring a conversation about mobbing, a form of group bullying. Mobbing involves a group of people working together directly or indirectly to remove the targeted individual. Mobbing is rooted in groupthink and group aggression with underlying elements of fear, competition, and envy. Unlike bullying, mobbing is not hierarchical. The target is usually labeled the troublemaker and is isolated within the organization. Get all the show notes and resources at radicalcandor.com/podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Bullying at work is real. We're dropping a bonus episode from Kim's Just Work podcast featuring a conversation about bullying at work, in Hollywood and within our greater society with co-host Wesley Faulkner and guest Eric Deggans. When someone is bullying you, the person's goal is to harm you. Telling the person you are being harmed is just going to result in more bad behavior. Ignoring bullies doesn't work, either. The only way to stop bullying is to create negative consequences for the people doing the bullying.Read the show notes >> Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

When it comes to creating a truly just workplace, many companies today seem fixated on ticking off diversity metrics. But DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging) is not just about numbers - it's about creating a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Our guest today, Trier Bryant, the President of 82VS, Alloy Therapeutics' affiliated venture studio that builds and invests in next-generation biotech companies and the Co-Founder and CEO of Just Work, puts it perfectly: "If even your straight white men don't have a good experience at work, increasing the diversity of your workforce will not solve the problem - it will probably make it worse." Tune in to this episode with Trier to learn about creating truly inclusive and equitable workplaces.

An interview with Russ Laraway. Russ was a Company Commander in the US Marines before entering Big Tech at Google, Twitter & Qualtrics. He also co-founded Radical Candor LLC with Kim Scott, and believes that anyone can be trained to be a good manager with the right approach. He wrote about this approach in his new book "When They Win, You Win". We speak about a lot, including: Why the world needs doesn't need another person's opinion on what makes a good manager, and how he wants to move away from opinions and move to data driven, measurable results How the US Marines set the stage for him to be a good manager, what moving to Big Tech taught him about focusing on results, and how the military can teach Big Tech a thing or two about Commander's Intent Why it was important to simplify the mission to make managers better, because most people aren't getting better and some are getting worse because there's so much conflicting information out there Why companies are so bad at developing managers, and how his STAC (Select, Teach, Assess, Coach) approach might help get us away from the best Individual Contributor getting thrown into the pit with no support How everyone wants to do great work & be totally psyched whilst doing it, and why people's direct managers are ultimately the key to making that happen The big three of Direction, Coaching, Career, how they can help managers thrive and the importance of helping managers not just concentrating on the stuff they're best at Whether managers are born or bred, and whether introverts or extrovert make the best managers And much more! A brief interruption from my sponsor - me! I'm terrible at asking for money but if you would like to throw any spare change at me to prevent me having to read out tiresome generic podcast ads, you can buy me a coffee. If not, I love you all anyway! Buy "When They Win, You Win" "Businesses everywhere are plagued by managers who seem to think that keeping their staff miserable is the best way to deliver profits. This is a failure of leadership that also hurts the bottom line; research has shown that maintaining a happy, engaged workforce consistently drives measurably better business results across the board." Check the book out wherever you get your books, or check it out on Amazon or the book website.

We've covered bias in previous episodes, but this week we tackle it head-on — specifically, how our language choices affect people, and the difference between bias, prejudice, and bullying. Kim Scott is a coach to some of Silicon Valley's most influential CEOs, and known for her groundbreaking book Radical Candor, about the complexity of giving critical feedback, even when it's hard. Trier Bryant is the CEO of Just Work, a consultancy specializing in identifying harmful bias and injustice in the workplace, and providing the tools to overcome it. Together, they help employees and managers develop a shared vocabulary so everyone feels safe to say, "that word/phrase is not OK." It's a crucial, but often missing step on the path toward true diversity, equity, and inclusion. It's harder than it seems, but making the effort to own your language — even during this very interview — is a great first step. Kim, Trier, and Whitney go deep on how caring for others can go hand-in-hand with challenging them directly, and why casual word choices take a heavy toll on marginalized people over time.
In this episode I speak with Kim Scott, author of "Just Work" and "Radical Candor" whose wakeup call was realizing the power and true DEI that can be freed up in an organization when people learn to be candid with each other. https://www.justworktogether.com/the-book
Kim Scott is all about creating workplace environments where everyone can really be their best selves and reach their growth potential, and her latest book https://kimmalonescott.com/just-work (“Just Work”) offers a valuable framework and set of tools to help address many of the workplace injustices that too many of us have endured over the years. The book is timely because it reflects how the traditional norms are fundamentally changing. The future of work will center around a workplace that respects everyone's individuality while also enabling them to collaborate effectively so we can ultimately do our best work. Becoming an Upstander at Work To create that ideal workplace, leaders have to understand that it's their responsibility to create a just work environment — and learn how to be what Dr. Philip G. Zimbardo calls an upstander. In my conversation with Dr. Zimbardo in https://www.conniewsteele.com/episodes/18 (episode 18), he talked about the bystander effect. That's when we observe injustice happening, but take no action or even confront it. An upstander is someone who takes action in these situations. And I think being an upstander when you see bias, prejudice, or bullying in the workplace is something that many people have wanted to do but have never felt they had the ability to do. So it's wonderful to now have a framework and a set of tools so that we can all collectively work towards a better workplace. The Why Behind “Just Work” Kim's first book was “Radical Candor: How to Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity.” But she had a conversation that helped her realize that being radically candid isn't equally easy for everyone — particularly people of color who already have to navigate bias and stereotypes. Kim realized that she, like almost all business leaders, had played a role in preventing Just Work in the past, both in the sense of justice and in the sense of just getting stuff done. We aren't usually doing this on purpose. But when we don't use our power to be upstanders and make work a place where everyone feels supported, we are still perpetuating injustice. What are Workplace Injustices? (And How Do We Respond to Them?) Workplace injustice is not a monolithic problem, it has specific parts. And if you can break a big problem down into smaller parts, it becomes easier to solve. Kim identifies the root causes of workplace injustice as bias, prejudice, and bullying, and the way we respond to each problem is different: Bias is unintentional. It's an unconscious thought that we have, but not a conviction or belief. Kim shares a real story of a situation where two teams were meeting to negotiate a deal. One team was composed of two men and one woman. As the other side filed into the room, they ended up sitting by the two men leaving the one woman alone at the end. That woman was the one that had the most expertise for her team and was the one who could win the deal. However, the other side was only addressing questions to her colleagues. This is where a male co-worker was able to use an ‘I statement' to be an upstander. When he stood up and said “I think we should switch seats,” it made everyone realize what was happening, made a victim of injustice feel more respected, and allowed them to get back to work. That's often all it takes to address bias; kindly making people aware of it. Prejudice is a conscious, negative belief about another person, usually rooted in cultural stereotypes. Kim shares an experience that her business partner witnessed. They were hiring and the best candidate was a Black woman with natural hair, yet the hiring manager said they couldn't hire her because of her hair. The best way to deal with prejudice in the moment is with an ‘It statement,' as opposed to a ‘You statement' or ‘I statement.' A You statement (e.g. You are being racist) can feel accusatory and make...
All any of us want is to do good work. We want to solve interesting problems with good people. This is easier said than done for some people. Kim Scott puts forth 6 issues that can cause untold damage for some people while others think everything is rosy in the garden. Just Work covers what issues need to be addressed and how to address them. Everything from bias, unwanted physical contact to prejudice and bullying. Heavy topics but this book covers them with a really deft expert touch. The author draws on her own experiences to point out issues that some are not aware of but definitely should be aware of.

When one of the world's most powerful women tells you that you sound stupid it's not going to be feedback that you're likely to ignore. Whilst most of us would want to curl up and die of shame, Kim Scott took this verbal chastisement directly on the chin and it got her thinking about six of the most dreaded words you'll hear at work - Let me give you some feedback.What's wrong with feedback?Nothing inherently as it's supposed to be about embedding or improving behaviours and in every other part of our lives we readily ask for and accept feedback. So what is it about feedback at work that get's us all defensive and uptight? Why does feedback often trigger a fight or flight response? Even when we say we 'value' direct feedback, we don't really mean it or accept it. Why do leaders and managers get feedback so wrong?A radical approach to feedbackWelcome to the world of Radical Candor a management philosophy described by NBC News as one of 'techs hottest new management trends'. Radical Candor at its core is providing guidance and feedback that's both kind and clear and specific and sincere. So whilst you show that you care personally, you challenge directly. Think of it as the sweet spot between between being aggressively obnoxious on one hand and ruinously empathetic on the other! Kim Scott is a former senior executive at Google and Apple and a CEO coach at tech firms such as Dropbox and Twitter. She is the author of two bestselling books 'Just Work, how to root out bias, prejudice and bullying to build a kick-ass culture of inclusivity' and Radical Candor – be a kick ass boss without losing your humanity.In this episode you'll learn:How Sheryl Sandberg's direct feedback changed Kim Scott's life;The reason why most of us screw up when giving feedback and what to do about it;What Kim means about caring personally but challenging directly;Why managers and leaders are often left to work out how to 'manage' by trial and error;The ruinous effects of not challenging and providing direct feedback.A lively, entertaining and thought-provoking episode that will genuinely give you the confidence to provide feedback to get the outcome you want by saying what you mean.Resources:https://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://www.radicalcandor.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimm4/https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/Twitter: @OvenHrhttps://www.personneltoday.comTell me me what YOU thinkTell me what you think of this interview.

It's February 2022 and many of you probably completed your annual reviews in the last few weeks. It's a time to get valuable feedback, look back on accomplishments, and set goals for the year.

Her name is Kim Scott, and she is the author of The New York Times bestseller “Radical Candor,” and “Just Work” – two books that make the case for consistent, honest communications at work, and what needs to happen to make sure they're experienced by everyone in the office.LINKSRadical CandorJust WorkWorkhuman Blog FOLLOW US:InstagramLinkedInTwitterFacebookYouTubeWorkhuman Content Newsletter

Michael's new book How to Begin: Start Doing Something that Matters is now available at www.HowToBegin.com. ‘We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us,' is a quote I often come back to. It reminds me that we're creatures of the systems in which we exist. We are defined by our relationships, both inside and outside of work. The question I sit with is: What's needed to find, carve out, and fight for freedom, justice, and dignity - not just for you, but more provocatively, for others? What do you do, when you uncover and decide to own your biases and prejudices? If you've ever worked in an organisation and thought that you could probably do a better job of getting or giving feedback, you may have heard of my guest: Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor, and a wonderful new book called Just Work.

Of course they aren't, writes bestselling author, operating executive, and CEO coach Kim Scott in JUST WORK: How to Root Out Bias, Prejudice, and Bullying to Build a Kick-Ass Culture of Inclusivity.

Writing with the signature directness and unmistakable integrity that made her New York Times bestselling book Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity a worldwide smash hit, Scott boldly tackles a stubborn problem harming both individuals and the larger economy: we—all of us—consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize some people in the workforce even as we over-include, overestimate, and over-promote others. Scott offers practical suggestions for what we can do, today, to clear away the distraction, injustice and inefficiency of inequity so we can just work.MORE ON RAMPED: Check us out at www.rampedcareers.com Interested in becoming a Ramped Professional?

One of the hardest things to do in any relationship is give feedback. It's always dicey. You don't want to be too aggressive. You don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But you also don't want to be too indirect. That's where radical candor comes in. This term comes from Kim Scott, who is the bestselling author of Radical Candor and Just Work. She has coached executives at Dropbox and Twitter, and has led teams at Google. In this conversation she'll not only talk about how to speak with radical candor, but also how to avoid its evil cousins: ruinous empathy, manipulative insincerity, and obnoxious aggression. She'll also talk about how to push for more equitable workplaces at all levels of an organization, how to speak up about diversity issues without ruining your career, and what to do if you're the person who has created harm. Kim will also talk about the difficult wake-up call that led her from her first book to her second.This episode is part of the Work Life series we are running here on the show. In conjunction with this series on the podcast, we're launching a Work Life challenge over on the Ten Percent Happier app. We'll be dealing with issues such as feedback, imposter syndrome, jerks at work, burnout, productivity shame, and more.

You're sailing on choppy seas, and building your boat as you go. That's the vivid picture that Vicki Yang paints about tackling how to do hybrid work. It really emphasizes the situation most of us are in if we've chosen hybrid mode. We don't have the answers, we don't know what will work, and we've got to try something and see if it takes us forward. On the latest episode of People at Work Vicki chats about what Bonusly is doing to build their boat. It's a lot of trial and error, but three things are key: understand what individuals need and want, document everything to keep things clear for all, and stay as flexible as possible. Hear about this and much more with Vicki's generous sharing so that we can learn and adapt too.

New York Times Best-Selling Author Kim Scott joins Joe to discuss how leaders can foster a culture that promotes honest feedback regardless of the power dynamics within an organization. In the interview, Kim discusses the lessons she shares in her books Radical Candor and Just Work, including how to give praise, how leaders can solicit feedback, how to promote diversity efforts, and why these things matter to any organization.
Right now many organizations are or should be aware of the harm that can be done when they fall far short of acceptable standards in areas such as equality, diversity and inclusion. Today's guests Trier-Lynn Bryant and Kim Scott of Just Work have built a business around calling organizations out on this - or ‘calling them in' on this as Kim likes to say. Kim wrote the book called Just Work: Get Sh*t done fast and fair. She then invited Trier to be the Co-Founder and CEO of this new company. Just Work LLC helps clients to create and sustain equitable, fair and just workplaces. Kim and Trier give keynotes and run workshops on these themes. In today's episode: Which experiences inspired Kim to write the book How Just Work gets the message out into the marketplace Which kinds of organizations need help with bias How the Just Work framework was developed Which challenges Trier and Kim address and solve Listen now!

Why Listen: For those of you who smoke cigars, and you know the phrase knuckle burner - this is a knuckle burner of an episode. I went in trying to keep this to 30 minutes, but we used 58 minutes for this conversation. It's because Trier has so many great points about so many different topics. You'll learn about her career. She's the co-founder and CEO of a company called Just Work. She has a tremendous amount of experience at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, other great organizations around people management, and she has so much great advice about taking care of your people, which is something our audience knows well. But doing that outside of the military blind spots, you may have to talk about empathy in very tactical ways and share stories that I found compelling. She talked about language-specific language to use to create openers within the civilian workforce of getting to know your team and making it an inclusive environment. We talk about entrepreneurship. Despite starting two different organizations, Trier talks about how she doesn't consider herself an entrepreneur, how she's much more interested in scaling something than building it. We talk about how you may not be unique in the military, but you are a unicorn when you get out of the military - the concept of followership again. About Trier: Trier Bryant is the co-Founder and CEO of Just Work, which works with leaders and teams of all sizes across a range of industries creating more effective organizations where respect and collaboration combine to produce just workplaces yielding exceptional results. She started out at the Air Force Academy, served in the Air Force for 7 years, and has held roles at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, SigFig, Astra, and more.

In today's special recap episode, Rory revisits his conversation with Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and most recently Just Work. Rory reflects on their conversation and how its lessons extend far beyond applications to one's personal brand. Rory shares his top three takeaways from their conversation, the most fundamental of which is the idea that discrimination exists on a continuum, with Kim categorizing its different forms in the workplace as bias, prejudice, and bullying. Rory also reflects on his desire to receive criticism with more humility and less defensiveness and how to apply the important lesson that it's one's impact that matters, not one's intention. For all this and more, tune in today for an informative and thought-provoking recap!
Most of us aspire to behave in a manner that is ethical, fair, and just, but our efforts are often undermined by unconscious biases, and without outside interventions, we may never take the necessary steps to change these unintended habits. In today's episode we sit down with Kim Scott to talk about her new book Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair. Some listeners may recognize her as the New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity. Kim has spent many years working as a high-profile CEO coach, doing in-depth work at Dropbox, Qualtrics, and Twitter to name a few. She was also involved with AdSense at Google, is a member of the faculty at Apple University, and has worked directly for Sheryl Sandberg. In our conversation with Kim, we talk about what she learned from writing Radical Candor and how she applied those lessons to her latest book Just Work. Kim breaks down the three revelations she experienced after getting feedback from a colleague, the most striking of which was that Radical Candor did not address how much more difficult it is to apply its lessons if you are a woman and especially if you are a woman of color. She explains why she felt it urgent and necessary to delineate the distinctions between bias, prejudice, and bullying in Just Work, and how she recommends using ‘bias interrupters' to facilitate a more just and equitable workplace. Later we discuss how influencers can become more aware of their biases when using social media and how to respond reasonably to criticism and feedback by taking the time to step away and calm down when our fight or flight response gets triggered. We had a fascinating conversation with Kim and we're sure that you will find it every bit as informative and stimulating as we did! Tune in today for all this and more!

We met Kim Scott last year when she was on the podcast talking about how to give difficult, impactful feedback in the workplace, following the release of her book, Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity. Today Kim is back, but with Trier Byrant this time, to discuss their latest book, Just Work, Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair. While bias, prejudice and bullying may be present in the workplace, they aren't inevitable in the workplace, say Kim and Trier. It is possible to combat workplace injustice so that everyone can get shit done and enjoy working together. Be warned, the book makes for uncomfortable reading because it makes you reflect on times when you should have been an upstander and called out injustice, instead of not speaking up when you could have. In today's episode, Kim and Trier highlight what injustice, bias and bullying can look like and how you can tackle it, and when you should stand up and when you can go easy on yourself. This issue is hard, they've written a difficult book, but it's a book everyone should read. This is a great conversation, we're sure you'll find it as illuminating as we did.

Career stewardship includes knowing how to navigate problems like bias, prejudice, and bullying, as well as doing our part to create workplaces that don't have those problems. Currently, there is a lot of talk about these kinds of problems, but what can you actually do? In today's episode, we speak with Kim Scott and Trier Bryant and get some specific, practical tools for dealing with unfairness in the workplace. Kim Scott is the author of the best-seller, "Radical Candor," and recently wrote a wonderful book, "Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast and Fair." Trier Bryant is a former Air Force Captain and veteran of Twitter and now the CEO of Just Work, the company. We talk about the specific different roles we can play in problematic situations, the different strategies we can use based on the nature of the problem, and in general how to move from being bystanders to "upstanders." A super-refreshing perspective on dealing with some thorny issues.
An interview with Kim Scott, author of "Radical Candor" and "Just Work". Kim was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick teams at Google. Earlier in her career Kim managed a pediatric clinic in Kosovo and started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow. We speak about a lot, including: How she's already getting feedback on the book, not just complements, but people taking action based on it Whether she's got any negative feedback from the types of people who complain about political correctness How she knew she was onto something when her dad's friends had a lightbulb moment discussing the book How she felt revisiting painful experiences from her past, and whether this was a positive or negative experience for her Whether strategic swearing in books is a positive or negative when trying to land a message How she got feedback from a black female executive that being radically candid doesn't work for everyone, and how this spurred her to write her new book Whether she felt she was an imperfect messenger for the themes in this book given that she is herself privileged How we all used biased language, how words matter and why it's important that we all work on it How to point out people's biased, prejudiced and bullying behaviour without getting their defences up and shutting you down How to be an upstander not a bystander, and building this into the culture of your company What to do when the problems in your company are systemic, from the CEO downwards, and the importance of checks and balances Buy Kim's books "We―all of us―consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution." Just Work "Radical Candor is about caring personally and challenging directly, about soliciting criticism to improve your leadership and also providing guidance that helps others grow. It focuses on praise but doesn't shy away from criticism ― to help you love your work *and* the people you work with." Radical Candor Get in touch with Kim You can check out Kim's work on the Just Work website, or follow her on Twitter.
Today I talked to Kim Scott about her new book Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair (St. Martin's Press, 2021). Kim Scott and her fellow guest on this episode, Trier Bryant, co-founded the company Just Work to help organizations and individuals create more equitable workplaces. Scott was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led various teams at Google. Bryant has been a leader at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, Astra, and proudly served in the United States Air Force as a Captain, leading engineering teams. Every situation where somebody gets harmed at work—socially, emotionally, physically—involves the person harmed, an upstander (observer), the bully, and ultimately the leader who should be nurturing a better workplace where justice presides. How to handle those situations, and the difference between bias vs. prejudice is central to this episode. Along the way, the discussion touches on having a Code of Conduct at work; whether and how HR can be helpful; and a clear gender split given the reality that 70% of office bullies are men, whereas 60% of those bullied are women.

We - all of us - consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. In a hugely impactful webcast with Kim Scott, leadership expert and author of Radical Candor, and Trier Bryant, diversity and inclusion expert, Leon Goren asked them about how a leader can use these teachings to change the culture of a workplace. Using examples and learnings from Kim's new book, Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair, discuss a framework of how we can recognize, attack, and eliminate workplace injustice while transforming our careers and organizations in the process. Just Work reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone's individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide business leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.If you're interested in tuning into the live webcasts, please visit https://peo-leadership.com/.Tune in to our new podcast, Snippets!

Kim Scott and Trier Bryant are the co-founders of Just Work. This isn't Trier's first foray into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) work. She started her career in the Air Force, where she implemented her senior capstone project that highlighted the lack of diversity across all the service academies and how that ultimately affects the lack of officer diversity. From there she led teams at Goldman Sachs, Twitter, and Astra, and she also founded DE&I consulting firm Pathfinder. Kim was inspired to write "Just Work" after feedback from underrepresented professionals made it clear that not everyone is able to use the strategies outlined in "Radical Candor" equitably and equally. As one Black woman CEO pointed out, it's hard for her to create radical candor in her workplace without someone invoking the angry Black woman stereotype. ————————————————————————— For podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Watch this video on YouTube: *https://youtu.be/O710tGwZCK8* ( https://youtu.be/O710tGwZCK8 ) Developed, created and produced by SALT Venture Group, LLC.

Too often, people are told to be professional and maintain traditional order in workplace settings, but this often leaves employees abandoning their humanity as soon as they step into the company building. As workplaces diversify, leaders are challenged to create a safe, justice-oriented working environment that simultaneously promotes creative individuality and traditional business models. Enter Kim Scott, author of the new book Just Work, looking to transform the modern workplace. She seeks to encourage leaders to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect. With experience advising at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter and other tech companies, Scott shares her knowledge and power for confronting modern workplace challenges, and offers a new solution.

Kim Scott, bestselling author and CEO coach, talks with Jesse about her new book Just Work and her New York Times Bestselling book Radical Candor along with the experiences and lessons that moved her to write. She talks about her lifelong love of writing and the value of storytelling in helping change behaviors. Kim reflects on the connected nature of her writing and executive coaching and on her philosophies on being an engaged professional advisor. Kim shares specific and moving examples of how she learned to care personally for people while also challenging them directly, and how caring personally and challenging directly became the basis for her Radical Candor. She also discusses how leaders can foster the right mix of meaningful debate and clear decision making, Kim speaks openly about the discovery of some of her own biases, and how that exploration and her conversations with underrepresented-minority colleagues and their experiences became the motivation for writing Just Work. She even shares a secret she learned about identical twins early on in parenthood. How do I give critical feedback without damaging my relationships? What is radical candor? How can a leader be caring while also pushing for high achievement? How can we foster a culture of healthy, productive debate in order to drive better decision making? How can we achieve a more just and productive work environment? Guest Bio:Kim Scott is the author of Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity and 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 and before that led AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick teams at Google. She's also managed a pediatric clinic in Kosovo and started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow. She lives with her family in Silicon Valley.Building Blocks:What skill or activity or habit is essentially you? Write about what it is and why it's essentially *you*. Maybe you're a surfer and surfing is not just your way of staying in shape and in balance, but of completely escaping the terra firma that anchors you to the day-to-day and inspires you to think of each day anew. Maybe, like Kim, you're a writer - and you have your own ways of using the written word to relax, reflect or reason with yourself. Or it could be art, music, building and repair … or really anything at all. Just take 10 minutes and write out what it is about this skill or activity or habit that's absolutely essential to you and give yourself gratitude for having discovered it and for living it. If you can't put your finger on anything specific, talk to two or three people who know you well and see if they can help you discover something hidden in plain sight or find a passion that you can make your own.Helpful Links:In addition to Radical Candor, she is the author of three novels and the forthcoming leadership book Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair, available March 16, 2021, from St. Martin's Press.The Radical Candor organization: https://www.radicalcandor.com/Kim's website: https://kimmalonescott.com/Kim on Twitter: @kimballscottKim's 2017 interview with Kara Swisher: https://www.vox.com/2017/4/13/15295070/transcript-kim-scott-book-radical-candor-live-onstage-recode-decodeKim at Hubspot's Inbound Conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj9GLeNCgm4

This week on the show, Allan and I are going to be showing you a very interesting interview we did talking about using FreeBSD to drive This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeBSD Core Team Election (https://www.freebsd.org/administration.html#t-core) Core.9 has been elected, and will officially take over from Core.8 on Wednesday, 6 July 2016 Many thanks to the outgoing members of the core team for their service over the last 2 years 214 out of 325 eligible voters (65.8%) cast their votes in an election counting 14 candidates. The top nine candidates are, in descending order of votes received: 180 84.1% Ed Maste (incumbent) 176 82.2% George V. Neville-Neil (incumbent) 171 79.9% Baptiste Daroussin (incumbent) 168 78.5% John Baldwin 166 77.6% Hiroki Sato (incumbent) 147 68.7% Allan Jude 132 61.7% Kris Moore 121 56.5% Benedict Reuschling 108 50.5% Benno Rice There was no tie for ninth. BSDNow and the entire community would also like to extend their thanks to all those who stood for election to the core team Next week's core meeting will encompass the members of Core.8 and Core.9, as responsibility for any outstanding items will be passed from outgoing members of core to the new incoming members *** Why I run OpenBSD (http://deftly.net/posts/2016-05-31-why-i-run-openbsd.html) This week we have a good article / blog post talking about why the posted has moved to OpenBSD from Linux. “One thing I learned during my travels between OSs: consistency is everything. Most operating systems seem to, at least, keep a consistent interface between themselves and binaries / applications. They do this by keeping consistent APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and ABIs (Application Binary Interfaces). If you take a binary from a really old version of Linux and run or build it on a brand-spanking new install of Linux, it will likely Just Work™. This is great for applications and developers of applications. Vendors can build binaries for distribution and worry less about their product working when it gets out in the wild (sure this binary built in 2016 will run on RedHat AS2.1!!).“ The author then goes through another important part of the consistency argument, with what he calls “UPI” or “User Program Interfaces”. In other words, while the ABI may be stable, what about the end-user tooling that the user directly has to interact with on a daily basis? “This inconsistency seems to have come to be when Linux started getting wireless support. For some reason someone (vendors, maybe?) decided that ifconfig wasn't a good place to let users interact with their wireless device. Maybe they felt their device was special? Maybe there were technical reasons? The bottom line is, someone decided to create a new utility to manage a wireless device… and then another one came along… pretty soon there was iwconfig(8), iw(8), ifconfig(8), some funky thing that let windows drivers interface with Linux.. and one called ip(8) I am sure there are others I am forgetting, but I prefer to forget. I have moved onto greener pastures and the knowledge of these programs no longer serves me.” The article then goes through the rundown of how he evaluated the various BSD's and ultimately settled on OpenBSD: “OpenBSD won the showdown. It was the most complete, simple, and coherent system. The documentation was thorough, the code was easy to follow and understand. It had one command to configure all of the network interfaces! I didn't have wireless, but I was able to find a cheap USB adapter that worked by simply running man -k wireless and reading about the USB entries. It didn't have some of the applications I use regularly, so I started reading about ports (intuitively, via man ports!).” The ultimate NetBSD Router (http://blog.tbrodel.me/2016/#netbsd-router) “So yesterday I spent the day setting up a new firewall at home here, based off of this BSD Now tutorial. Having set up a couple of OpenBSD routers before, either based on old laptops, bulky old power-sucking desktops or completely over-specced machines like the Intel NUC, I wanted to get some kind of BSD onto a low-powered ARM board and use that instead.” “I've had a couple of Cubietrucks lying around for a while now, I've used them in a couple of art installations, running Debian and Pure Data, but over all they've been a bit disappointing. It's more the manufacturer's fault but they require blobs for the graphics and audio, which Debian won't allow, so as a multimedia board they're dud for video, and only passable for audio work with a usb sound card. So they've been collecting dust.” “Only thing missing is a second NIC, luckily I had an Apple USB->Ethernet dongle lying around, which when I bought it was the cheapest thing I could find on eBay that OpenBSD definitely supported. There, and on NetBSD, it's supported by the axe(4) driver. USB 2.0 works fine for me as I live in Australia and my ISP can only give me 30Mbps, so this should do for the forseeable future.” + The article then walks through installing and configuring NetBSD + Configuration includes: pf, unbound, and dhcpd “This project has been really fun, I started with basically no experience with NetBSD and have finished with a really useful, low-powered and robust appliance. It's a testament to the simplicity of the NetBSD system, and the BSD design principles in general, that such a novice as myself could figure this out. The NetBSD project has easily the most polished experience on Allwinner ARM boards, even Debian doesn't make it this easy. It's been a joy running the system, it has the bits I love from OpenBSD; ksh(1), tmux(1), an http daemon in base and of course, pf(4). This is mixed with some of the pragmatism I see in FreeBSD; a willingness to accept blobs if that really is the only way to boot, or get audio, or a video console.” bhyve-Bootable Boot Environments (http://callfortesting.org/bhyve-boot-environments/) We have a lengthy article also today from our friend Michael Dexter, who asks the basic question “What if multibooting and OS upgrades weren't horrible?” No doubt if you've been a frequent listener to this show, you've heard Allan or Myself talking about ZFS Boot Environments, and how they can “change your life”. Well today Michael goes further into detail on how the BE's work, and how they can be leveraged to do neat things, like installing other versions of an operating system from the original running system. “If you are reading this, you have probably used a personal computer with a BSD or GNU/Linux operating system and at some point attempted to multiboot between multiple operating systems on the same computer. This goal is typically attempted with complex disk partitioning and a BSD or GNU/Linux boot loader like LILO or GRUB, plus several hours of frustrating experimentation and perhaps data loss. While exotic OS experimentation has driven my virtualization work since the late 1990s, there are very pragmatic reasons for multibooting the same OS on the same hardware, notable for updates and failback to "known good" versions. To its credit, FreeBSD has long had various strategies including the NanoBSD embedded system framework with primary and secondary root partitions, plus the nextboot(8) utility for selecting the "next" kernel with various boot parameters. Get everything set correctly and you can multiboot "with impunity". “That's a good start, and over time we have seen ZFS "boot environments" be used by PC-BSD and FreeNAS to allow for system updates that allow one to fall back to previous versions should something go wrong. Hats off to these efforts but they exist in essentially purpose-built appliance environments. I have long sensed that there is more fun to be had here and a wonderful thing happened with FreeBSD 10.3 and 11.0: Allan Jude added a boot environment menu to the FreeBSD loader” From here Michael takes us through the mechanical bits of actually creating a new ZFS dataset (BE) and performing a fresh FreeBSD 10.3 installation into this new boot-environment. The twist comes at the end, where he next sets up the BE to be a root NFS for booting in bhyve! This is interesting and gives you a way to test booting into your new environment via a VM, before rebooting the host directly into it. *** Interview - Edicarla Andrade & Vinícius Zavam - @egypcio (https://twitter.com/egypcio) BSD-Powered Robots News Roundup Tomohiro Kasumi explains what “@@” means, in the context of the Hammer filesystem (http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2016-June/249717.html) A post from the Dragonfly users' mailing list about what the @@ construct means in the Hammer filesystem “@@ represents the existence of a PFS which is logically separated pseudo filesystem space within HAMMER's B-Tree” “HAMMER only has 1 large B-Tree per filesystem (not per PFS), so all the PFS exist within that single B-Tree. PFS are separated by localization parameter which is one of the B-Tree keys used to lookup the tree.” Each substring in "@@-1:00001" means: "@@" means it's a PFS or snapshot. "-1" means it's a master. ":" is just a separator. "00001" means it's PFS#1, where PFS#0 is the default PFS created on newfs. There is no "00000" because that's what's mounted on /HAMMER. PFS# is used for localization parameter. “Localization parameter has the highest priority when inserting or looking up B-Tree elements, so fs elements that belong to the same PFS# tend to be localized (clustered) within the B-Tree” There is also a note about how snapshots are named: "@@0x00..." A user points out that having : in the path can confuse some applications, such as in the case of adding the current directory or a relative path to the $PATH environment variable, which is a colon delimited list of paths This seems quite a bit more confusing that the datasets created by ZFS, but they might have other useful properties *** FreeBSD 11.0 nearing RC1 (https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/schedule.html) We've all been eagerly awaiting the pending release of FreeBSD 11.0, and the schedule has now been updated! The first release candidate is slated for July 29th! If all goes well (and we stick to schedule) there will be another RC2 and possible RC3 release, before 11.0 officially drops near the end of August. Start playing with those builds folks, be sure to send your feedback to the team to make this the best .0 release ever! *** TensorFlow on FreeBSD (http://ecc-comp.blogspot.com/2016/06/tensorflow-on-freebsd.html) Next we have a blog post about the experience of a “new” FreeBSD user trying to deploy some non-ported software to his new system. Specifically he was interested in running TensorFlow, but not doing a port himself, because in his words: “First, I apologize for not supplying a port archive myself. After reading the FreeBSD handbook for creating a port, it's too complex of a task for me right now. I've only been using FreeBSD for two weeks. I would also not like to waste anyone's time giving them a terrible port archive and mess up their system.” First of all, good ports are often born out of bad ports! Don't let the porting framework daunt you, give it a go, since that's the only way you are going to learn how to write “good” ports over time. The porters-handbook is a good first place to start, plus the community usually is very helpful in providing feedback. He then walks us through the changes made to the TensorFlow code (starting with the assumption that OSX was a good “flavor” to begin porting from) and ultimately compiling. This ends up with the creation of a pip package which works! A good tutorial, and also very similar to what goes on in the porting process. With this write-up perhaps somebody will take up creating a port of it… hint hint! *** NetBSD: A New Beginning? (http://jamesdeagle.blogspot.ca/2016/06/netbsd-new-beginning.html) We don't get enough NetBSD news at times, but this post by James Deagle talks about his adventure with NetBSD 7.0 and making it his “new beginning” “After a few months of traipsing around the worlds of SunOS and Linux, I'm back to NetBSD for what I hope will be a lengthy return engagement. And while I'm enamored of NetBSD for all the previously-mentioned reasons, I'm already thinking ahead to some problems to solve, some of which have also been mentioned before.” He then goes through and lists some of the small nits he's still running into during the daily workflow YouTube audio - Specifically he mentions that no audio is playing, but wonders if Flash plays some part. (Ideally you're not using Flash though, in which case you need to check the audio backend FF is using. Try PulseAudio since it seems the best supported. If pulse is already enabled, install ‘pavucontrol' to make sure audio is playing to the correct sound device) Slow gaming performance (TuxKart and Celestia) - Check DRI / Xorg? Or is it CPU bound? Lastly some unspecified Wireless issues, which typically end up being driver related. (Or use another chipset) Beastie Bits Reproducible NetBSD? 77.7% of the way there (https://reproducible.debian.net/netbsd/netbsd.html) Create FreeBSD virtual machine using qemu.
