competence/
likability trap
makes it harder for
female bosses to be
radically candid
being called a bitch
feels worse than
being called an
asshole to most
male boss doesn’t
give feedback to
female employee
because he’s afraid
to make her cry
equal opportunity to
screw up…

story of firing Bob
story of Shona
matters more with you all—you don’t tell somebody they screwed up and a patient could die…
since criticizing people is something we’ve all been taught to be uncomfortable with, and since so many of us were raised in the “every kid gets a trophy” era and don’t know how to praise, I have developed a framework to help you think about it.
sheryl telling me i sounded stupid
HIP—humble, instant, private
if you can’t offer radical candor, the second best thing you can be is an asshole…
this was me when I sent an email around Google saying that Larry Page was not organizing the world’s information, he was creating clutter sites that muddled the world’s information. Not humble. Not instant. Not private. Why was I such an asshole? It never occurred to me he needed me to care personally about him. And he didn’t. But for my own sake, I needed to.
BUT this wasn’t what sunk me….
Much worse than the unempathetic assholes are those who know exactly what buttons to push…I worked with a guy like this, an interrogator on a bridge. Any stories?
this was me with Bob
My apology with Larry sunk me. I still didn’t agree with him because I still didn’t understand why he was right. But my boss told me I had been rude, so next time I bumped into him I didn’t just apologize—I lied. I said I agreed when I didn’t. He got this disgusted look on his face, as though a bird had just pooped on him. A colleague patted my shoulder with pity and said, “He likes it better when you disagree…”
Sergey Brin, “That’s pretty good.”

Spot Bonus email:

39th Name she has done all of the dirty work in getting PPS off the ground with endless spreadsheets, updates, legal calls, security calls, financial modeling, fallback matrices and has done a great job (well above her level 3 status)
72nd Name Exceptional effort in the past 4+ months. Additional responsibility covering JohnDoe..
“Heck of a job, Brownie!”
Does he think just because he’s so famous that it means I’m so stupid that I can’t see he doesn’t mean a word he says???”

Criticism: silence; sometimes trainings unintentionally have this impact
Praise: every kid gets a trophy; story of peer bonus system (Joe showed up at work!)
