Radical Retail!

Kim Scott, legendary author of Radical Candor and Radical Respect, just posted the above graphic on Instagram. As she explained...

"Leaders, if your management systems have put unnecessary obstacles in the way of your employees’ success, it’s your job to get them out of the way, not to try to silence people through nondisclosure agreements and forced arbitration. That’s just management. Just in both senses of the word.

Nondisclosure agreements and forced arbitration are blatant attempts to dodge the checks and balances that our legal system puts on employers. The best way to avoid going to court is to do what you can to prevent discrimination and harassment from the outset; to offer multiple safe ways to report it when it does occur, despite your best efforts; to investigate reports fully and fairly; and to take appropriate action when the reports prove true. Sarah Wynn-Williams is being silenced. Buy her book Careless People.

'She Said' by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey and 'Catch and Kill' by Ronan Farrow detail how the truly bad actors have been able to take advantage of NDAs to pursue victim after victim after victim. Use your NDAs to prevent disclosure of trade secrets, not wrongdoing. Nobody should have the right to buy silence from another person about wrongdoing."

True to her word, Kim just ordered 100 copies of Careless People from The Best Bookstore and will be distributing them for free to attendees of the New Orleans Book Festival where she's appearing later this month.

She also suggested that we should make it super simple for folks to buy five copies of the book, one to keep and four extras to be sent to 1) their Senator, 2) their Representative, 3) their Governor and 4) their State Attorney General.

Of course we're delighted to help make this happen!
