Wir alle kennen sie: die Wichtigtuer, Intriganten, Tyrannen und Egomanen im Berufsleben- und wir haben eine sehr einprägsame Bezeichnung für diese Spezies, die uns das Leben oft genug schwer macht: Dieses rotzfreche Buch von Robert Sutton, renommierter Management-Autor und Professor in Stanford, liefert den Beweis: Arschlöcher sind nicht nur eine unerträgliche Zumutung für ihre Mitmenschen, sondern schaden dem Unternehmen massiv auch und gerade wenn sie an dessen Spitze stehen. Wie lassen sich Arschlöcher sicher identifizieren und entschlossen kaltstellen? Dieses Buch öffnet uns die Augen. Es verhilft den Unterdrückten des Arbeitsalltags zu ihrem Recht und ist Balsam für alle, die sich am Ende ihres Bürotags nur noch eins wünschen: Nichts wie raus hier.
Kurzbeschreibung:
THE NO ASSHOLE RULE will be a manifesto for the masses who feel oppressed by the jerks they work with, serve and struggle to lead.
Klappentext:
When the Harvard Business Review asked Robert Sutton for suggestions for its annual list of Breakthrough Ideas, he told them that the best business practice he knew of was 'the no asshole rule'. Sutton's piece became one of the most popular articles ever to appear in the HBR. Spurred on by the fear and despair that people expressed, the tricks they used to survive with dignity in asshole-infested places, the revenge stories that made him laugh out loud and the other small wins that they celebrated against mean-spirited people, Sutton was persuaded to write THE NO ASSHOLE RULE.
He believes passionately that civilised workplaces are not a naive dream, that they do exist, do bolster performance and that widespread contempt can be erased and replaced with mutual respect when a team or organisation is managed right. There is a huge temptation by executives and those in positions of authority to overlook this trait especially when exhibited by so-called producers, but Sutton shows how overall productivity suffers when the workplace is subjected to this kind of stress.
