Synopsis
In a landmark article published in the esteemed Harvard Business Review, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton addressed a taboo topic that affects every office and workplace in the world today. Employees who are insensitive to their colleagues... corporate bullies....bosses who just don't get it. Let's face it, every office has workers who are flat-out rude, selfish, uncivil, mean-spirited, and who really don't seem to care about whom they step on. They're the kind of people who make you exclaim in exasperation, "What an asshole!" This groundbreaking book is more than just a reflection on the issue of social friction among corporate colleagues. Dr. Sutton sheds real analytical light on how this ongoing problem ruins morale, lowers productivity, and can truly devastate a company's culture. Sutton not only confronts this issue directly, but also provides extensive strategies and insights into how your company can pinpoint and eliminate this problem. With lively language, wit, and solid case studies, The No Asshole Rule is a compelling inquiry into the difficult challenge of having to work with other human beings.... and what you can do about it. And in the end you'll be asking yourself, "Am I part of the problem....or part of the solution?"
