"So many books, so little time." That familiar dilemma is why EXHIBITOR asked the members of its Editorial Advisory Board to pick the titles they feel should be at the top of face-to-face marketers' reading lists. Featuring both returning favorites and a few unexpected names, this compilation is sure to enrich your downtime, whether that be on a sandy beach or during a four-hour layover.
Radical Candor
Anyone who has managed a team knows that being the boss means playing multiple roles: taskmaster, problem-solver, and workplace therapist. Kim Scott, author of "Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity," instructs leaders on how to be better managers by balancing empathy with results-focused pragmatism.
How would you summarize this book's premise?
Scott outlines a management philosophy based on two key aspects: caring personally, i.e., "Radical," and challenging directly, i.e., "Candor." In other words, it's important for managers to open up and relate to their employees on both personal and professional issues, as well as challenge those who are underperforming. This philosophy is a two-way street, however, as all team members need to be empowered to give feedback.
