About this episode

Let’s talk about giving and receiving… feedback. Ross and Natalie share their experiences receiving feedback - from Natalie learning the proper use of icons in consulting decks to Ross receiving a harsh critique of his comedy series script. The duo breaks down Kim Scott’s concept of Radical Candor as a constructive method of giving feedback in the workplace. They, of course, also explore some methods of giving destructive criticism to direct reports to ensure they never grow or prosper in their role. Stay tuned for a glimpse into what Ross has been learning in his executive coaching sessions, a sense of what it would be like to go to a fancy dinner with Ross and Natalie, and a critical analysis of ghost riding the whip.
