This week's trio

01 Leadership / Feedback

Kim Scott: How to lead with radical candor

Lens: Care personally and challenge directly. Dropping either one turns feedback into flattery or aggression.
Why it matters for BLG: Trust grows when people know their leader will tell them the truth because they want them to succeed.

02 Culture / Respect

Christine Porath: Why being respectful to your coworkers is good for business

Lens: Small acts of incivility quietly drain focus, effort, and loyalty. Small acts of respect do the opposite.
Why it matters for BLG: Culture is built in everyday interactions, and leaders set the tone for how people treat each other.

03 Strategy / Simplicity

Yves Morieux: As work gets more complex, 6 rules to simplify

Lens: More structure and process rarely fix complexity. Clear roles, real cooperation, and shared stakes do.
Why it matters for BLG: Strategy only works when leaders create the clarity and conditions for people to cooperate, not more layers.
