Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs Kim Scott's landmark titles on modern leadership and workplace culture.

It's a smart gift for new managers or HR teams.
About the Books
Kim Scott built her reputation coaching leaders at some of the world's most recognizable companies, and both books in this set distill that experience into frameworks any manager can use. Radical Candor introduces caring personally while challenging directly, showing how honest feedback builds trust and drives performance without tipping into aggression or empty praise. It walks readers through real conversations and step-by-step coaching techniques drawn from Scott's time managing teams at Google and Apple. Radical Respect takes the conversation further, tackling the everyday bias, prejudice, and bullying that quietly erode team performance and morale. Rather than vague platitudes about inclusion, Scott lays out concrete systems and structural fixes that leaders and colleagues can put into practice immediately. Read together, the two books move from the individual skill of giving feedback to the organizational work of building a genuinely fair, high-performing culture. Both are written in Scott's signature style: candid, story-driven, and free of corporate jargon, making dense management theory feel practical and usable. Whether you manage a team of two or two thousand, this set offers a coherent philosophy for leading with both honesty and humanity. Each book stands on its own, but read as a pair they offer a fuller, more durable picture of what it actually takes to lead a team well, from the first tough conversation to the long work of building a truly respectful culture.
