What gets in the way of collaborative, respectful work environments? How can we build teams where everyone can love their work--and working together? Those the questions this podcast explores.

In Season Three, Kim and Wesley are back. Also, a name change as we move from “Just Work” to “Radical Respect”. As part of the paperback release of Just Work which is coming out in May of 2024, Kim made major revisions to the text based on all the learnings of the last three years. She also decided to change the name of the book from Just Work to Radical Respect (more details in our blogpost).

In Season Two, Wesley Faulkner, who has led developer relations and been a community manager at a number of tech companies, joins Kim as co-host. We talk to guests about their experiences with bias, prejudice, bullying, discrimination, harassment, and physical violations in the workplace. By sharing experiences, we help to build community and to help listeners recognize problems they are experiencing at work, and get some ideas about how to handle it.

In Season One, Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor and Just Work, and Ernest Adams, an executive from Nike, Danaher, and Ralph Lauren, talk about how to translate ideas from the book Just Work into on-the-ground realities on your team. They read short sections of the book and get real about how to disrupt bias, prejudice and bullying before they disrupt your team. Ernest now leads DEI at The Ford Motor Company.
