As mentioned by Kim Scott in “Radical Candor” , guidance provided by our bosses can be classified into the following types based on the intent.
Based on the two components of Radical Candor i.e. 1) Care personally & 2) Challenge Directly guidance provided by bosses to sub-ordinates can be classified into the following categories:
Radical Candor – High on Care Personally and High on Challenge Directly
Obnoxious Aggression – Low on Care Personally and High on Challenge Directly
Ruinous Empathy – High on Care Personally and Low on Challenge Directly
Manipulative Insincerity – Low on Care Personally and Low on Challenge Directly
1st category being the most desirable and 4th the least.
