Have you ever read the book Radical Candor by Kim Scott?
Emma PayneGUEST
No, I haven't.
Emma PayneGUEST
It's a
Erica WhiteGUEST
And I think wholeheartedly, that's what it takes to be a leader in 2026 is have that empathy and understanding while also accountability.
Erica WhiteGUEST
And I know there's a lot of talk about radical candor in our space and in the Kim Scott book there, but totally wholly agree with that approach.
Erica WhiteGUEST
And I think that's similar to my take as well.
Jacob KosiorHOST
On the technology side, obviously, and I think you lead with this as well, is what is that impact going to be for the customer experience? Great if we can use this, but is it really going to move the needle for folks? And that's where, especially on the student housing side, maybe even more difficult because you're serving probably the youngest generation of renters right now, students, but you're also serving their guarantors and folks who are accustomed to renting in a different way.
Mark CoxHOST
So when you talk about underperformers, I think this is where sales leaders, we really have to get into it and understand why are they underperforming? And the second thing is a sales leader you need to be comfortable with.
Mark CoxHOST
This is not always comfortable, but if you go to Kim Scott and Radical Candor, We need to be communicating to people so they understand our view that they're underperforming.
Mark CoxHOST
They understand our view as to why they're underperforming.
Mark CoxHOST
So first, let's diagnose why somebody is underperforming.
Jay CongerGUEST
So very clear differences, but here's the catch.
Jay CongerGUEST
When a manipulative persuader is persuading you, Kim, she or he will always say, this is for you.
Jay CongerGUEST
I'm doing something special.
Jay CongerGUEST
It's for your benefit.

Dimitry GershensonGUEST
Yeah.
Dimitry GershensonGUEST
right um i don't know if you're familiar with the concept of radical candor which is like carpo speak but i actually really like it and um was it kim scott did a ted talk on it and there's like old book now and um but you know it's these two axes and one axis is how direct are you and the other axis isn't much care you show and you know if you're like too direct but you don't show a lot of care you're an asshole etc
Ross KenyonHOST
and so i think with this like
Dimitry GershensonGUEST
Both of these pieces were written from places of very deep care.
Heather SignorelliHOST
So there's another book that's really good.
Heather SignorelliHOST
It's called Radical Candor by Kim Scott.
Heather SignorelliHOST
And a good quote from there says that the most important thing you can do for your team and for yourself is to create a space where people will tell you the truth.
Heather SignorelliHOST
And that only happens when people feel you care about them personally and that you truly want to be able to make sure that if they bring something to you, even if it's bad news, that you're not going to chastise them or blame them or point the fingers at them.

And then write down the things that are talked about so that you can make sure to resolve any challenges and barriers or let them know that you're in the process of resolving and get those on a schedule and have it be something that's blocked in the calendar so that everybody is aware of those and can reserve those for time.
Heather SignorelliHOST
And, you know, take a look at some of these books that I mentioned today.
Heather SignorelliHOST

And I feel like talks about her fairly positively.
Mike SchmitzHOST
Yeah.
Debbie GreenHOST
Yeah.
Laura ThomsonHOST
Tell me more about Radical Candor because Radical Candor, the book by Kim Scott, is one of those beauties of the carousel of content that often gets referenced when people might say, you know, wow, I read that book ages ago and it really gave me a sort of frame of reference.
Laura ThomsonHOST
So refresh us on Radical Candor and where that might help our listeners who is getting really furious with himself for not kind of speaking up.
