Hi, everybody.
- 00:01 - 00:04
I am excited to be able to be with you
- 00:05 - 00:08
as a part of the main board meeting and provide
- 00:09 - 00:12
some information that I think will help you be not
- 00:12 - 00:15
only just better board members, but better leaders in the
- 00:15 - 00:18
communities and ministries and work that you do for those
- 00:19 - 00:20
I haven't had the privilege to meet before.
- 00:21 - 00:21
I'm JD Schramm.
- 00:22 - 00:25
And yes, I am married Thio, Reverend King Bagel.
- 00:26 - 00:29
And in conversations with Ken as well as with Jim
- 00:30 - 00:32
Blake, we've looked at What do I have in my
- 00:33 - 00:36
tool kit that could be valuable for all of you
- 00:37 - 00:39
in the work that you're doing on behalf of unity.
- 00:40 - 00:44
And what we determined was for me to create a
- 00:44 - 00:48
session based on a book that just truly love looking
- 00:49 - 00:53
at how we can embrace radical candor in order to
- 00:53 - 00:58
deliver effective feedback both to our staff as well as
- 00:58 - 01:02
to our volunteers and even, at times too, congregants or
- 01:02 - 01:06
individuals in the ministries that we lied and that we
- 01:06 - 01:09
serve. What I'd like to do is just give you
- 01:09 - 01:14
a brief understanding off what radical candor is and then
- 01:15 - 01:19
cue you in for the assignment that that we will
- 01:19 - 01:23
be asking of you in advance of the main meeting.
- 01:23 - 01:27
So what radical candor is is It's looking at feedback
- 01:27 - 01:33
across to axes how well we're able to challenge directly
- 01:34 - 01:38
and how well we're able to care personally.
- 01:39 - 01:42
And so, uh, if we are first talking about it,
- 01:42 - 01:43
we're not able to do that.
- 01:44 - 01:47
If we don't challenge people directly and we just care
- 01:47 - 01:50
and care and care as a leader, we could be
- 01:50 - 01:51
providing Rhona sympathy.
- 01:52 - 01:56
Or worse yet, if we don't care and we don't
- 01:56 - 02:00
challenge, we fall into a box of manipulative insincerity.
- 02:01 - 02:05
According to the author Kim Scott and the bottom right
- 02:05 - 02:08
quadrant, if we're able to challenge directly, we don't care
- 02:09 - 02:11
about the people that were giving that feedback.
- 02:11 - 02:15
Thio. Frankly, it's just obnoxious aggression Now.
- 02:16 - 02:20
Admittedly, all of us fall into one of those buckets
- 02:21 - 02:23
from time to time, depending on the situation.
- 02:24 - 02:27
Depending on our stress level are temperament the person that
- 02:27 - 02:28
we're interacting with.
- 02:29 - 02:32
But what we want to strive for as leaders is
- 02:32 - 02:36
that top right quadrant, which is being able to be
- 02:37 - 02:37
radically candid.
- 02:38 - 02:42
That's where we both challenge directly, but care personally about
- 02:43 - 02:48
the individuals and the volunteers the recipients off our feedback.
- 02:49 - 02:52
So what we will do is we will look at
- 02:52 - 02:54
this in a really engaging, fun way.
- 02:55 - 02:56
I wish we could all be in person.
- 02:57 - 02:59
I think in May we're still probably going to be
- 02:59 - 02:59
in a virtual environment.
- 03:01 - 03:05
But through the exercises that I have planned, we'll be
- 03:05 - 03:09
ableto look at these skills and these concepts so that
- 03:09 - 03:11
we can all be more effective now.
- 03:12 - 03:16
Between now and the board meeting in May, you will
- 03:16 - 03:21
receive a copy off Kim's newest book, the updated version
- 03:21 - 03:24
of Radical Candor and all I ask that you do
- 03:24 - 03:26
between now and the start of the board meeting is
- 03:27 - 03:28
just read through the first two chapters.
- 03:29 - 03:31
If you have gotten through Chapter one in Chapter two,
- 03:31 - 03:34
we should be in good shape for the plan that
- 03:35 - 03:35
I have for you.
- 03:36 - 03:40
And so, uh, watch for the book to come in
- 03:41 - 03:41
the mail.
- 03:41 - 03:44
Um, read the first couple chapters, feel free to skim
- 03:44 - 03:45
ahead and look at other chapters.
- 03:46 - 03:49
But to be ready for the conversation, we're gonna have
- 03:49 - 03:50
just one and two.
- 03:50 - 03:53
And then, as you get more familiar with the concept,
- 03:54 - 03:59
look for opportunities to use radical candor in your ministries
- 04:00 - 04:03
and in your work inside of the half day that
- 04:03 - 04:06
Jim and can have scheduled for me with you in
- 04:07 - 04:11
May plan on and engaged half day of training I
- 04:11 - 04:12
wanna have some fun.
- 04:12 - 04:15
I want Thio Love the phrase that Kim Scott uses
- 04:16 - 04:17
toe learn while laughing.
- 04:17 - 04:22
And I've also got access to a video that Kim
- 04:22 - 04:28
Scott has produced together with, um second city television, Uh,
- 04:28 - 04:33
in Chicago, looking at the feedback loop, there won't even
- 04:33 - 04:36
be some actors that you recognize, uh, in in the
- 04:36 - 04:39
video clip that I'll be able to use well, layer
- 04:39 - 04:44
that with discussions and ah, chance to play with some
- 04:44 - 04:45
of the concepts and some of the information.
- 04:46 - 04:50
