4. Kim Scott: The Radical Wisdom in Getting it Right (vs. Being Right)
Society & Culture
What if wisdom begins when we stop trying to prove we are right? In this episode of Hidden Wisdom, Rishi and Jeff sit down with Kim Scott, bestselling author of Radical Candor and Radical Respect, to explore the difference between being right and getting it right. Kim reflects on the early lesson that taught her to listen when others tell us how our behavior affects them, why meaningful feedback must often be actively invited, and what leaders can do to make candor feel safe enough to surface. From shutting down a startup she realized was working against genuine human connection to learning through writing, disagreement, failure, and nature, she shows how humility and openness can move us closer to the truth. And through stories from Google, Steve Jobs, and her own life, Kim reveals why wisdom is not about protecting what we already believe, but creating the conditions to discover what is actually right.
