There’s now an extra good reason to be on-time for the 26^th Annual Meeting’s first breakfast session! We’re are excited to announce bestselling author Kim Scott will be the plenary speaker at the Wednesday morning session, October 10.

Scott is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss without Losing your Humanity. She led AdSense, YouTube, and Doubleclick teams at Google before joining Apple University to develop and teach “Managing at Apple.” Scott has been a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and several other tech companies. She is currently the co-founder of Radical Candor, which helps companies build a culture of radical candor—an environment where employees are empowered to exchange clear, constructive feedback while showing that they care personally about each other’s growth and success.

 You will not want to miss Scott’s talk, as she’ll be discussing how nonprofits can effectively address their management challenges to create a culture of feedback and help employees meet their full potential. She’ll also give practical tips in how to apply radical candor principles in your relationships with external constituencies such as policymakers and colleagues at other organizations.

Additional information about Scott’s book and approach is available at www.radicalcandor.com.
