Addressing harmful behavior at work

Robert I. Sutton examines how workplace bullies and other persistently demeaning colleagues affect both individuals and organizations. The book combines strategies for identifying and responding to negative conduct with case histories from major organizations. It also turns the question inward: a self-diagnostic test and program invite readers to consider how they themselves might contribute to a hostile workplace. Together, these elements make the book a practical guide to workplace behavior, spanning personal coping, organizational culture, and self-reflection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking strategies for dealing with bullying or demeaning behavior at work
  • Managers and workplace leaders interested in the effects of negative conduct on organizations
  • Readers who want tools for reflecting on their own workplace behavior

Book overview

The definitive guide to working with -- and surviving -- bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work.

"What an asshole!"

How many times have you said that about someone at work? You're not alone! In this groundbreaking book, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton builds on his acclaimed Harvard Business Review article to show you the best ways to deal with assholes...and why they can be so destructive to your company. Practical, compassionate, and in places downright funny, this guide offers:
  • Strategies on how to pinpoint and eliminate negative influences for good
  • Illuminating case histories from major organizations
  • A self-diagnostic test and a program to identify and keep your own "inner jerk" from coming out
The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Business Week bestseller.
