“So much of what I describe in Radical Candor I learned from Russ Laraway. He taught me that leadership is not an innate talent but a skill that can and must be learned. In a labor of love, Russ has poured everything he knows into these pages. He offers a coherent management philosophy backed up by research. Whether you are pondering career options, are currently a boss, or are working in HR trying to deliver a great employee experience, this is a book for you!” –Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor

“I’ve seen so many excellent managers in my career and was lucky to have observed Russ Laraway up close during our time at Twitter, and he’s one of the best. This book unlocks a simplified, coherent management approach that reliably delivers engaged results…you really need to read it.” –Dick Costolo, former CEO of Twitter

“If anyone can help smart leaders develop the humility and self-awareness needed to learn, it’s Russ Laraway. He delivers great insights with candor, wit, and humility. Laraway is someone to listen to and learn from–and he makes it easy to do both.” –Liz Wiseman, author of Multipliers

RUSS LARAWAY has had a diverse 28-year operational management career. Before starting his first company, Pathfinders, he was a Company Commander in the Marine Corps. A graduate of The Wharton School, he worked at Google and Twitter before co-founding Candor, Inc., alongside bestselling author Kim Scott. In 2018, Laraway became the Chief People Officer of Qualtrics and ultimately took on a role helping other companies think (very) differently about the employee experience. Over that span, he has managed 700-person teams and $700M businesses facing a vast array of leadership challenges along the way.
