Hello everybody. Welcome to the Radical Candor podcast. I'm Kim Scott. I'm Jason Rosoff. And I'm Amy Sandler.
Today we are diving into a real-world leadership curveball. Some of you may recognize, this was a question we came across on Reddit. I'll give an edited version of it. So this person writes I recently accepted what I thought was a senior manager role at a large company I previously worked for, only to find out mid-interview was actually a director level position.
The hiring process was rushed due to an outgoing director and I didn't get to ask many questions. I've got seven years of experience managing individual contributors, but no experience managing managers. Turns out I'll be responsible for an org of about 30 people. I'm not worried about the technical side, but I am anxious about the people management side.
