If you are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses.

Robert Sutton is Professor of Management Science and Engineering at the Stanford Engineering School. The No Asshole Rule was a New York Times bestseller and won a Quill Award as the Best Business Book of the Year in 2007.
Bob Walter supplies an authoritative voice to Sutton's follow-up to THE NO ASSHOLE RULE (2007). Walter makes Sutton's no-nonsense views and straight-from-the-hip wording flow naturally. His delivery of the stories and studies that support Sutton's discussion of bosses good and bad is flawless.

Walter follows through on Sutton's quick-paced, conversational style and clearly delivers the audio-friendly summaries that highlight key points at the end of each section.
