177. Kim Scott – Radical Respect

ROG Podcast Ep 177 Cover Art

Disrupting bias is really important because bias is a pattern and if we don’t publicly correct it, then we reinforce it. We make it more likely that it’s going to happen again.

Guest Bio:

Kim Scott is the author of “Radical Respect: How to Work Together Better” and “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. Prior to that Kim managed a pediatric clinic in Kosovo and started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow. 

She also co-hosts the podcasts Radical Candor and Radical Respect.  She lives with her family in Silicon Valley.

R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:

  • Radical Respect: combination of individuality.
  • Step 1: Create a shared vocabulary to call out bias. 
  • Step 2: Shared norm. If someone makes you aware of something I have done/ said is biased, say, “Thank you for making me aware.” 
  • Step 3: Shared commitment to working on being better.
