About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
This meticulously researched book, which grew from a much
buzzed-about article in the Harvard Business Review, puts into plain
language an undeniable fact: the modern workplace is beset with
assholes. Sutton (Weird Ideas that Work), a professor of management
science at Stanford University, argues that assholes?those who
deliberately make co-workers feel bad about themselves and who focus
their aggression on the less powerful?poison the work environment,
decrease productivity, induce qualified employees to quit and therefore
are detrimental to businesses, regardless of their individual
effectiveness. He also makes the solution plain: they have to go. Direct
and punchy, Sutton uses accessible language and a bevy of examples to
make his case, providing tests to determine if you are an asshole (and
if so, advice for how to self-correct), a how-to guide to surviving
environments where assholes freely roam and a carefully calibrated
measure, the "Total Cost of Assholes," by which corporations can assess
the damage. Although occasionally campy and glib, Sutton's work is sure
to generate discussions at watercoolers around the country and deserves
influence in corporate hiring and firing strategies.
