Courtesy of Periplus Bandung: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crz0_u72hD8 | From the time we learn to speak, we're told that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. While this advice may work for everyday life, it is, as Kim Scott has seen, a disaster when adopted by managers. Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google and then decamped to Apple, where she developed a class on optimal management. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, the “radical candor” method. Radical candor is the sweet spot between managers who are obnoxiously aggressive on one side and ruinously empathetic on the other. It's about providing guidance, which involves a mix of praise as well as criticism—delivered to produce better results and help employees achieve. Great bosses have strong relationships with their employees, and Scott has identified three simple principles for building better relationships with your employees: make it personal, get (sh)it done, and understand why it matters. Radical Candor offers a guide to those bewildered or exhausted by management, written for bosses and those who manage bosses. Taken from years of the author's experience, and distilled clearly giving actionable lessons to the reader; it shows managers how to be successful while retaining their humanity, finding meaning in their job, and creating an environment where people both love their work and their colleagues. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/periplusid/message

“The purpose of marketing is to find that intersection between what's important to people, what they're looking to do and solve for in their lives, and how your company can uniquely help them achieve that,” says Matt Kerbel, Director of Strategic Brand Planning at Turo. According to Matt, the three main things to avoid are what he refers to as the three Ps: perfectionism, pandering, and plagiarism.  Essentially, you're marketing to people, not just businesses, and influencing a small group of passionate people who will help spread your message is more effective than trying to please everyone (and as a result, pleasing no one). Matt and Brendan discuss the importance of early discovery as well as the way that the unprecedented events of the last few years have affected the relationship between marketer and consumer. At the heart of Matt's success in marketing is a desire to do good in the world. He says that the upcoming generation is more interested in affecting change than any generation before, and that they are the most tuned in to sincere messages. Therefore, brands should go beyond storytelling and engage in what he calls story living, in which actions speak louder than words.  Quotes: “Marketing is really trying to uncover those human truths, and determining whether your company is uniquely qualified to help them either solve their problems or achieve a quality of life that they may not have been able to if your company didn't exist.” (6:20-6:40 | Matt) “One thing we did well was we really wanted to ensure is we did the opposite of what I think is crappy marketing, which are the three Ps: perfectionism, pandering, and plagiarism.” (14:23-14:37 | Matt)  “There's a lot to be said for progress over perfection.” (26:18-26:21 | Matt) “To avoid plagiarism, to avoid pandering, to avoid perfectionism, you need to have that upfront strategy tight and aligned. And if you do that, you can move fast, you can point and shoot, you can ship it, and you just know that you can continue to share story after story, initiative after initiative, product after product, that is going to be something that your audience absolutely loves, eats up, shares, evangelizes.” (31:23-31:55 | Matt) “If you target a small group that can have influence and be extremely passionate and evangelize, that's actually much more important than trying to be everything to everyone.” (39:33-39:46 | Matt) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926  Connect with Matt:LinkedIn: @Matt KerbelCheck out Matt recommended books:   Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't by Jim Collins https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780066620992   Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss without Losing Your Humanity by Kim Scott https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781250103505   Contagious: Why Things Catch On by Jonah Berger https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781451686586   Please don't forget to rate, comment, and subscribe to Billion Dollar Tech on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!

We're thrilled to invite you to join us with the legendary Kim Malone Scott, New York Times Bestselling Author and Former Google & YouTube Executive, to explore lessons from her own management experience and award-winning book, Radical Candor that is reshaping modern management. Scott earned her stripes as a highly successful manager at Google and then decamped to Apple, where she developed a class on optimal management. She has earned growing fame in recent years with her vital new approach to effective management, the “radical candor” method. 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. In a wide-ranging conversation with IVY CEO and YPO Metro NY Chapter Chair Beri Meric, we'll learn Scott's three simple principles for building better relationships in the workplace: make it personal, get (sh)it done, and understand why it matters. Through actionable lessons, Scott will distill why radically candid relationships with team members enable bosses to fulfill their three core responsibilities: create a culture of Compassionate Candor, build a cohesive team, and achieve results collaboratively.

Kim Scott, author of New York Times & Wall Street Journal Bestseller Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss without Losing Your Humanity, can help you get sh*t done, manage difficult bosses and coworkers, and become more effective not only as a business leader but also in life. Workplace injustice needs to be addressed explicitly. Kim encourages men to be Upstanders in the workplace and shares her framework on effective leadership.

"Radical candor doesn't mean you'll never have to fire anyone. It just means that they won't be surprised when you fire them." - Kim Scott Why should every CEO get their whole company to critique them? What radical candor did Sheryl Sandberg drop on Kim Scott after a presentation at Google? Why do leaders need to get comfortable with challenging directly? How can you make someone feel good about being fired? What's So Radical About Candor? What Every Boss Needs to Know Kim Scott has quite the resume. After getting her BA at Princeton and her MBA from Harvard, she led teams at both Apple and Google, and she has coached the CEOs of some of the top companies in the world, including Dropbox and Twitter. Today, Kim shares the groundbreaking conclusions that led to her best-selling book Radical Candor — and tells you what you need to know to become a kickass boss. How to Disagree Respectfully, and Why Your Colleagues Will Thank You For It As someone with an almost scholarly knowledge of the art of criticism, Kim Scott knows that it's impossible for people to build good relationships if they can't disagree with one another in a respectful way. Your team can't be innovative if they're afraid to say what they really think. Kim explains why the success and culture of your firm depends on your ability to give and take criticism in a way that is fair and kind, but unashamedly honest and true. It's not being cruel to be kind — it's being authentic to thrive. Why Every Leader Needs to Ask For Feedback, and How to Do It Right There's one exception to the "praise publicly, criticize privately" rule, and that's if you're the CEO. Kim hacks efficiency and addresses power imbalance by soliciting direct feedback on the regular. But what's the leader with 30, 40, 50, or more people under them supposed to do? We discuss the feedback framework at the top, and how radical candor ahead of time saves challenges (not to mention meetings!) down the line. Key takeaways: Clarity is measured at the other person’s ear, not at your mouth. The emotional response of the other party will help you better understand how your message landed and to adjust if necessary. The phrase “soft skill” is over. From the Marine Corps to the head of global organizations, feedback, listening, and communication skills should be top of your agenda, whether you're hiring or leveling up your personal qualities. Find out what your recipe is and follow it every day. Taking care of yourself is vital. If you put your wheel out of alignment, you're not only doing a disservice to yourself — you're doing a disservice to your team.

Using Radical Candor―avoiding the perils of Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy―you can be kind and clear at the same time. Kim Scott was a highly successful leader at Google before decamping to Apple, where she developed and taught a management class. Since the original publication of Radical Candor in 2017, Scott has earned international fame with her vital approach to effective leadership and co-founded the Radical Candor executive education company, which helps companies put the book’s philosophy into practice. 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. Radically Candid relationships with team members enable bosses to fulfill their three core responsibilities: Create a culture of Compassionate Candor Build a cohesive team Achieve results collaboratively Required reading for the most successful organizations, Radical Candor has raised the bar for management practices worldwide. www.amazon.com Links Watch Kim’s video ‘be a kickass boss without losing your humanity’ here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj9GLeNCgm4 BIG IDEA 1 (6:14) – Care personally and challenge directly. Caring personally is fundamentally about giving a damn. It is about sharing yourself and allowing others to do the same by creating an environment where everyone can build true relationships. It’s about truly caring about your team as people – not just about how good they are in their job. Create space for conversations about what your team members want to do with their careers, even if people may not want to stay in your team or your organisation. The first important step to caring personally is to decide that it is your job to make your team successful. Caring personally and challenging directly are what make up the radical candor. Challenging directly is telling people what’s working and what’s not. Whether you are giving feedback or guidance, you can’t effectively care personally without challenging directly. And you can’t effectively challenge directly without caring personally. BIG IDEA 2 (8:54) – Choose radical candor. The radical candor model in the book has two axis; at the top of the vertical axis you’ve got caring personally and bottom is ‘you don’t give a damn’ while on the horizontal axis right hand side is challenge directly and on the left is silence. If you care personally but don’t challenge directly, you display ruinous empathy. If you stay silent and don’t care personally, you act with manipulative insincerity (which usually involves a lot of back stabbing). If you have no care but you do challenge directly, you act with obnoxious aggression.  Interestingly many people rather work with an obnoxious asshole than someone who just says nice things all the time as at least you know where you stand with an obnoxious asshole! When you care personally and challenge directly, this is radical candor. BIG IDEA 3 (12:39) – You’ve got to get to give. You can’t just give out radical candor without being open to receiving it. Team leaders should be open to receiving radically candid feedback from their teams to be a role model in how to receive such feedback and have these conversations. Therefore you may need to encourage your team to practice it with you in a less public setting (eg in your one on one meetings) until people can feel safe to do so in a group environment.

We hear Maureen Fan’s answers to those pressing questions on today’s episode! Maureen Fan is the COO and co-founder of Baobab Studios, a virtual reality animation company that makes animated shorts and films! She founded the company with Eric Darnell, the writer, and director of all four Madagascar films, and the movie Antz. Baobab’s third co-founder is Larry Cutler, who was the technical director for Toy Story 2 and Monster’s Inc. and was also the global head of character technologies for DreamWorks Studios. They all handle differently, but equal, parts of the company with Maureen managing the business aspect, Eric steering Baobab’s creative direction, and Larry representing technical. Together they have turned Baobab into the top VR animation studio, and won the 2017 Daytime Emmy for “Outstanding Interactive” for their first animation, INVASION; which will soon become a feature film! For Maureen, animation has been a love of hers for as long as she can remember. She even designed her own undergrad major for animation studies at Stanford called Art, Computer Science, and Psychology. Despite her passion for animation, she said her immigrant parents didn’t see it as a practical career path. So after college, she became a UI designer for eBay, and while she said she loved it, she still couldn’t shake her desire to become an animator. To continue to pursue her dream career, she began taking classes on nights and weekends at De Anza College, where a lot of George Lucas’ animators taught. She also started to save money so she could eventually apply for a masters program at a fine arts school. After five years, she was ready to finally apply but found that all the deadlines for the programs she wanted had passed. However, round three of business school was available at Harvard, and due to the pressures from her mother, she applied and got in. Before she completely gave up on animation, though, her boss at eBay told her to try out Hollywood and see what it would be like to work as an animator. So she quit her job and took on as many internships and jobs as she could out in L.A. She ended up landing positions as Zach Braff’s assistant and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s talent manager. From those positions, and during her time in Hollywood, she learned that everything is a business no matter what you do, and decided to start at Harvard. In between her time at school, she took an internship at Pixar and ended up working on Toy Story 3. She said she learned that animation was a mature industry full of mature businesses, so a lot of emphasis was on decreasing costs in order to increase margins. But Maureen wanted to create something new because she knew it would be hard to compete against Pixar or Disney without a lot of money or unfair distribution advantages. That’s when she decided to join forces with Zenga, because it was still entertainment, but it was also a pioneer in an entirely new industry focused on connecting the world through games. After six years with Zenga, she became VP of Games, and overlooked the Farmville franchise. Not able to keep her hands away from animation, though, she worked with art directors from Pixar on an a film called the Dam Keepers; which was nominated for an Oscar. She continued to find new ways to innovate the industry, which eventually led to her venture into virtual reality. She said the first time she put on a VR headset she hated it because of it’s low resolution and bad pixilation. It was when Zenga hacked into the headset with their games, that she was convinced that VR was the future of animation, because it allowed her to be transported into a fantasy world. She said it also made sense business-wise because it was a new industry, and no one had an advantage. Naturally an introvert, she didn’t want to be a COO, but there weren’t any companies in VR to join. But she knew she had to be a part of the VR industry, and began to pave her own way through it! Hear more of Baobab’s story, how she found the courage to pursue her dreams, and created her own system! In this episode you will… Know how to have confidence in pursuing your dream career Learn how to find the perfect co-founders Be able to work your network to help you start your business See how to educate men on the female experience in the work place Get over what society deems as attractive in women at work Figure out a way to come up with the perfect name for your company INSIGHTS “[Virtual reality] spoke to me creatively because the reason I love animation is it takes you to completely different worlds, and world’s that are only limited by the directors' imagination…and it makes you believe that the world is so real, you can reach out and touch it. And that’s also the definition of virtual reality.” – Maureen Fan “Animation makes me feel like I’m 5 years old again when I believed I could do anything. And for VR, if it takes you totally to that world, it brings out that 5 year-old in me even more, and makes me feel like I’m invincible. Creatively it was like magic, and I knew I needed to do it.” -Maureen Fan “It’s so great having co-founders, because starting a company is incredibly emotional and stressful. You have these moments [of] intense happiness, and incredible misery, and having the co-founders there, not only to share the load of work with you, but also there for you emotionally.” -Maureen Fan RESOURCES Baobab Studios Website Baobab Studios Facebook Baobab Studios Instagram Baobab Studios Twitter Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss without Losing your Humanity by Kim Scott

Kim Scott is the New York Bestselling Author of a new book, Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss without Losing Your Humanity  Kim is also the co-founder of Candor, Inc and co-host of the podcast Radical Candor. She led AdSense, YouTube, and Doubleclick Online Sales and Operations at Google and then joined Apple to develop and teach a leadership seminar. Kim has been a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and several other tech companies Radical Candor is demonstrated when one cares personally for someone and also challenges them directly.  Great bosses can be source of growth and joy. It is evident that they care about you. They will also tell things that you need to hear. The framework consists of four points: Radical Candor – praise and then criticize Obnoxious Aggression – when you challenge but don’t care (praise that doesn’t seem sincere or criticism that isn’t delivered kindly) Manipulative insincerity – when you neither care nor challenge (non-specific praise or criticism that is not clear) Ruinous Empathy – compassion without providing honest feedback   How does Radical Candor contribute to an employee experience? It will give you a witness to your life and it will help you grow in the way you want to grow. When you are doing great work, you want it recognized, when you mess up, someone will let you know.    Scott gives four steps on how to get to Radical Candor. First, come up with a go-to question. People don’t want to tell you so it’s difficult. Think of a question. For example: Is there anything I could do or stop doing that would make it easier to work with me? Whatever question works for you - figure out how to ask it Second, embrace the discomfort. The only way to get the feedback is to make it more uncomfortable for them not to answer. So – after you ask the question – shut your mouth…count to 6… Third,listen with the intent to understand - not to justify or respond. You cannot be defensive or you will not get any more feedback in the future from that person. And finally, reward the candor. Give them a reward for telling you – if you agree with the feedback, fix the problem. And then tell the person and thank them for helping you. If you disagree, first of all focus on what you can agree with…then say I want to follow up in a few days. Then explain why you disagree. Sometimes the only reward is a fuller discussion of why you disagree. Scott says some of the most common mistakes are showing employees care but not challenging them directly (Ruinous Empathy), getting so busy we fail to show we care personally or challenge directly and just flatter people – (Manipulative Insincerity), being reluctant to have ‘getting to know you’ conversations – these are the basis for the beginning of caring, and criticizing the feedback. Do you have a ‘bad boss’? No matter how terrible your boss is, you can be a good boss. You don’t need to imitate yours. You can create a good micro culture.
