Radical Candor: Revised Edition

This is a useful read if you want to learn to better communicate within a company or startup. Or with people in general I guess. I liked the practical examples from Kim Scott's career.

Startup culture tends to encourage a sugar-coated form of communication. In many cases that doesn't tend to be very useful. In some it can even be frustrating. I can tell from experience.

This book shows another approach that gets the message across, while being fair and not hurting other people's feelings. If you're running a startup, you should definitely read it. Much of it shows examples from well-established companies but everything applies.

What I felt was in some cases was that some pieces of advice were a bit evident to me. Instead of pages and pages of method, it could have been a paragraph describing what's wrong. Could be useful to others, though.
