The Power of Radical Candor and Fierce Conversations in Leadership

We would like to introduce our White Paper Issue No. 24:

The Power of Radical Candor and Fierce Conversations in Leadership

Authored by Sarah Yu, Senior Director at PERSOLKELLY Consulting, this paper explores the value of radical candor and fierce conversations as leadership frameworks. It highlights their shared emphasis on direct communication and the challenges of applying them to individuals who prefer more harmonious interaction styles.

The White Paper starts by clarifying the frameworks, radical candor and fierce conversations. Next, it dives into the challenges with certain communication styles before highlighting the common ground between the two frameworks. Following that, it addresses the strategies to overcome challenges and gives a practical toolkit for the implementation. Lastly, the paper provides a call to action for HR, learning and development, and talent management professionals on how they can spark transformative change.
