This is the founder-sized version of Radical Candor: a four-step order of operations (Get, Give, Gauge, Encourage) that starts by soliciting feedback on yourself before you dish any out, which is exactly the trust move a founder needs before HR exists. The CORE script (Context, Observation, Result, Expected next step) gives you a sentence-level template for delivering direct feedback within 48 hours without it turning personal.

From Radical Candor by Kim Scott (Radical Candor team) 15 min read
- Solicit feedback on yourself first; it earns the right to give it and models candor for the team
- Structure every piece of feedback with CORE: context, observation, result, expected next step
- Treat feedback like brushing and flossing (small and frequent) not a root canal (rare and dreaded)
