How about criticism? While communicating these ideas seems easy enough, the truth is that most of us are pretty bad at it. Despite the best of intentions, we\u2019re not usually clear or helpful with the information we want to convey. Without that clarity, the praise we give can feel patronizing. The criticism can feel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rFgu0nOHCcE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">downright mean<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not our fault, really. In North America, we\u2019re conditioned from a young age not to give honest feedback. <em>If you don\u2019t have anything nice to say, don\u2019t say anything at all<\/em>. In a similar vein, outdated notions of professionalism mean that we\u2019re actively discouraged from bringing emotions into our jobs. All of that in tandem makes for lousy communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At North One, we\u2019ve tried to create an office environment where people can be transparent about their feelings, ideas, and intentions in the day-to-day of their work. We\u2019ve based that culture on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kimballscott?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\">Kim Scott<\/a> and her book <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Radical-Candor-Kick-Ass-Without-Humanity\/dp\/1250103509\" target=\"_blank\">Radical Candor: How to Get What You Want By Saying What You Mean<\/a>.<\/em>&nbsp; Scott &#8212; an advisor with heavy hitters like Twitter, Apple, and Google &#8212; uses the book to walk readers through insightful advice and practical suggestions on how to be a better leader, regardless of your role at work.

If the person\u2019s work is subpar &#8212; or even <em>bad <\/em>&#8212; offering praise gives them a false sense of accomplishment. It also undercuts actual praise in the future.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Engaging (or encouraging) in complaints about work without attempts to solve the problem. Everyone needs to blow off steam from time to time. But if people are consistently complaining without addressing problems the environment gets toxic.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Constantly picking up the slack for people who aren\u2019t pulling their weight. It\u2019s okay to help people, but repeatedly doing work to make up for people\u2019s shortcomings only breeds resentment towards that co-worker.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people want to avoid creating tension in the workplace. But avoiding that tension for too long creates a workplace where<em> being kind<\/em> is put above doing excellent work. Worse, the kindness is based on a false premise. Because no one is actually telling the truth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Obnoxious_Aggression\"><\/span><strong>Obnoxious Aggression<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>What is Obnoxious Aggression<\/em>: Obnoxious Aggression is when you criticize someone without showing them that you care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Obnoxious_Aggression\"><\/span><em>Examples of Obnoxious Aggression<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Giving belittling compliments.

This can be frustrating, but it isn\u2019t an opportunity to act like a jerk.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to learn how to give feedback without coming across like an asshole. People need to know when they\u2019re not living up to expectations, but they also need to know that criticism of their work isn\u2019t criticism of them as a person or their abilities in general.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manipulative_Insecurity\"><\/span><strong>Manipulative Insecurity&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-dark-gray-color has-very-light-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><em>What is Manipulative Insecurity: <\/em>Manipulative Insecurity is when you don\u2019t respect a person enough to challenge them directly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Manipulative_Insecurity\"><\/span><em>Examples of&nbsp; Manipulative Insecurity:&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Apologizing when you don\u2019t mean it.

It\u2019s important to challenge ideas if you want those ideas to get better. People might use manipulative insecurity in the hopes of making a situation better, but it actually has the opposite effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Radical_Candor\"><\/span><strong>Radical Candor<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><em>What is Radical Candor:<\/em> As stated above, Radical Candor is giving feedback that directly challenges a person, while also showing that you respect and value them as a team member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Radical_Candor\"><\/span><em>Examples of Radical Candor:&nbsp;<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Balancing praise with criticism.

It takes a conscious effort to break down learned behavior we\u2019ve developed after years of repetition.
