'Powerful and perceptive . . . belongs on the shelves - and in the hearts and minds - of leaders everywhere' - Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of To Sell is Human From Kim Scott, author of the revolutionary New York Times bestseller Radical Candor, comes Just Work: How to Confront Bias, Prejudice and Bullying to Build a Culture of Inclusivity - that will help you recognize, attack and eliminate workplace injustice - and transform our careers and organizations in the process. We - all of us - consistently exclude, underestimate and under-utilize 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 by Kim Scott reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone's individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.
This revised edition of a bestselling management guide features a new foreword, afterword, FAQ, and performance review. It challenges the conventional wisdom that discourages honest feedback in the workplace. As a former executive at Google and Apple, Kim Scott developed a new approach to effective management known as Radical Candor. This concept emphasizes the importance of caring personally while also challenging directly. When feedback is given without care, it leads to obnoxious aggression; caring without challenging results in ruinous empathy; and failing to do either leads to manipulative insincerity. This framework aims to foster better workplace relationships and fulfill three essential leadership responsibilities: creating a culture of feedback, building cohesive teams, and achieving commendable results. The book serves as a practical guide for those feeling overwhelmed by management, offering actionable insights for both bosses and their teams. It illustrates how managers can succeed while maintaining their humanity, finding meaning in their roles, and cultivating an environment where employees enjoy their work and colleagues.
Taboo takes place in the present day, in the rural South-West of Western Australia, and tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit, for the first time in many decades, a taboo place: the site of a massacre that followed the assassination, by these Noongar's descendants, of a white man who had stolen a black woman. They come at the invitation of Dan Horton, the elderly owner of the farm on which the massacres unfolded. He hopes that by hosting the group he will satisfy his wife's dying wishes and cleanse some moral stain from the ground on which he and his family have lived for generations. But the sins of the past will not be so easily expunged. We walk with the ragtag group through this taboo country and note in them glimmers of re-connection with language, lore, country. We learn alongside them how countless generations of Noongar may have lived in ideal rapport with the land. Taboo won four literary awards, was longlisted for four and shortlisted for three more. It is a novel of survival and renewal, as much as destruction; and, ultimately, of hope as much as despair
Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lament—of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.

Jak wykorzystać szczerość w bezpośredniej konfrontacji, by pomóc zespołowi w osiągnięciu wspaniałych rezultatów. Odkąd nauczyliśmy się mówić, powtarza się nam, że jeśli nie mamy nic miłego do powiedzenia, to lepiej wcale nie otwierać ust. Gdy jednak zostajesz się menedżerem, mówienie staje się twoją pracą i obowiązkiem. Autorka niniejszej książki, Kim Scott, zajmowała stanowiska kierownicze w Google i w Apple, gdzie pracowała nad kursem szkoleniowym poświęconym sztuce bycia dobrym szefem. W ostatnich latach zyskała sławę dzięki swojemu nowatorskiemu podejściu do skutecznego zarządzania, które znane jest jako Radykalna Szczerość. Radykalna Szczerość to złoty środek między byciem szefem obrzydliwie agresywnym z jednej strony i rujnująco empatycznym z drugiej. W tym podejściu chodzi o takie kierowanie ludźmi, które łączy w odpowiedni sposób pochwały z krytyką, by pomóc ludziom uzyskiwać lepsze wyniki. Świetni szefowie nawiązują silne relacje ze swoimi pracownikami, a Scott udało się zidentyfikować trzy proste zasady ich budowy: - OSOBISTE ZAANGAŻOWANIE - SKUTECZNOŚĆ - ZROZUMIENIE ZNACZENIA Szef wymagający i wyrozumiały to przewodnik dla wszystkich zagubionych lub wyczerpanych pracowników, napisany zarówno dla szefów, jak i dla każdego, kto ma nad sobą szefa.
