Radical Respect

Understanding systemic barriers is crucial for effectively challenging workplace misconduct. This week on the Radical Candor Podcast, we're dropping a Radical Respect episode featuring whistleblower Susan Fowler Rigetti whose experiences taught her that success cannot be achieved within corrupt systems that reward harmful behavior. She advocates for recognizing these barriers and understanding the rules of the bureaucracy you're operating within. The reality is that not everyone has the privilege to speak up. Those on work visas, supporting families, or facing other personal constraints often cannot risk retaliation. This makes it even more important for those who can speak up to do so.

If you tell a joke that harms someone, then it was a bad joke, and you’re better off apologizing for it than trying to use humor to cover up what you did wrong. Good humor reveals hidden attitudes and behaviors in a way that creates change. Bad humor reinforces harmful attitudes and behaviors. Instead of asking others to “assume good intent,” consider focusing on your impact instead of your intention. #radicalrespect #radicalcandor #assumegoodintent #wordsmatter #owrkplaceculture

As I wrote for my recent op-ed in 'The New York Times' about the pitfalls of founder mode, "Emotional dysregulation, bullying and bloviating are not leadership attributes. People who cannot manage themselves should not manage others." But as we all know, there are many people in positions of power who abuse it. Here's how to address the accountability gap. #foundermode #radicalrespect #theceotrap #radicalcandor #leadership #workplaceculture #bullyingprevention

You can’t control what the people who work for you think. Managers are not the thought police. But where, exactly, is the line between each person’s freedom to believe and freedom from other people’s beliefs??This is one of the toughest challenges you’ll face as a leader. #radicalrespect #radicalcandor ##prejudiceatwork #leadership #management

Navigating treacherous waters is difficult. These are complicated decisions, and I certainly don’t have all the answers. These sorts of direct confrontations are highly personal. You’ll have to make your own list of pros and cons, costs and benefits. #radicalrespect #speaktruthtopower #radicalcandor #speakup #workplaceculture
