The key to fostering a culture of radical candor begins with effectively soliciting feedback. Instead of asking vague questions like "Do you have any feedback for me?", it's crucial to ask specific, targeted questions that encourage honest responses.

What does it mean when you realize you may have been making a mistake or taking criticism in a negative or defensive way on a project, as discussed in the episode 225: Kim Scott | Care Personally, Challenge Directly with Radical Candor? I'm also frustrated about how I acted—responsive and thankful but also annoyed—when Kaitlyn suggested I do something differently. Additionally, I have a weird relationship with one manager at work. I'm going to change how I've been acting. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. It's just this one person, and I need to change my attitude. She rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations without letting me continue. It's very different from everyone else there. While it's useful in some ways, it's also frustrating. I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?
