Overview
Just Work is Kim Scott's follow-up to her bestselling Radical Candor, tackling the thorny, often avoided subject of bias, prejudice, and bullying in the workplace. Drawing on her years leading teams at Google and Apple, Scott lays out a clear, practical framework for recognizing the subtle and not-so-subtle ways people get excluded, underestimated, or overlooked at work, and for building workplaces where everyone can do their best work. This is a book for leaders and employees alike who want to turn good intentions into real, lasting change.

About the Book
Just Work: How to Confront Bias, Prejudice and Bullying to Build a Culture of Inclusivity opens with a hard truth: every workplace, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to exclude, underestimate, and underutilize some people while overestimating and over-promoting others. Kim Scott argues this isn't just unfair, it's genuinely bad for business, draining talent, morale, and innovation. Rather than offering vague platitudes about diversity, Scott breaks the problem into distinct categories, bias, prejudice, and bullying, and gives readers concrete language and tools for identifying which one they're dealing with in any given moment. She distinguishes between being on the receiving end of injustice, witnessing it, and perpetrating it, and offers different strategies for each role. Throughout the book, Scott uses real workplace stories, many drawn from her own career at Google and Apple, to show how small moments of exclusion compound over time into serious career and culture damage. She also addresses how leaders can respond when someone speaks up, without becoming defensive or dismissive. The book builds on the foundational ideas of Radical Candor, applying that same commitment to direct, caring communication to the specific challenge of workplace injustice. It's less a theoretical treatise and more a working manual, full of scripts, frameworks, and practical next steps that readers can start using immediately, whether they're an individual contributor, a manager, or an executive trying to shift an entire company's culture.
