Does not stand out

More philosophy and tips than coherent practices. Some absolute bullshit as well. Not recommended.

Finally I know what a good manager is supposed to be like
5 stars
I don't know if I'll ever go into management but this was still a useful read. I don't think I've ever had a great manager. At least now I know what a great manager looks like.

Review of 'Radical Candor : Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I am probably not in the target group of this book as it seems to be a guide more for managers (e.g. the section about firing employees). Still, I think there were valuable ideas about radical condor - what it is or what it is not. I guess one half is relevant for everyone, the other half more for people with management responsibilities.
