The book is a great resource for everyone who wants to be a better boss. The Radical Candor framework definitely resonated with me and gave me plenty of food for thought, even if I've been working in a somewhat similar fashion for a while now. One of the things I really liked in the books is that it's full of practical and actionable advice, although the quality of the different chapters varies somewhat and the book could have been written in a more compact fashion.

I'm dropping one star mostly due to the crazy amount of name-dropping to support the author's arguments, and for choosing too simple examples to illustrate many important points. The updates in the new revised editions are mostly worthless (e.g. new foreword and afterword), except the performance review tips.
