Robert I. Sutton Knihy

A tiež ako sa nestať jedným z nich. Mám čo do činenia s kreténom (alebo bandou kreténov). Pomoc! Čo mám robiť? Robert Sutton predkladá rady, ako zaobchádzať s ľuďmi, ktorí na ostatných pôsobia tak, že ich systematicky deptajú, urážajú, ponižujú, vysávajú ich a všemožne im otravujú život. Kniha je zameraná na pracovné prostredie, ale jej odporúčania možno rovnako dobre uplatniť pri stretnutí s kreténmi kdekoľvek inde. Môžu byť inšpiráciou, ako sa darebákom každého druhu vyhnúť, ako sa proti nim brániť, ako s nimi bojovať a ako sa ich zbavovať alebo pri najhoršom aspoň ako ich (dočasne) lepšie znášať.

Kniha \"Kreténům vstup zakázán\" s podtitulem \"Jak vytvořit příjemné pracoviště a jak přežít tam, kde tomu tak není\", se zabývá v současnosti široce diskutovaným tématem - vztahům na pracovišti a v tomto případě konkrétně těm vyhroceným, vedeným nepříjemným šéfem, v knize titulovaným jako kretén. Studie doprovázená řadou konkrétních příkladů z nejrůznějších pracovišť a podpořená citacemi ze studií na toto téma napsaných je členěna do kapitol, které čtenářům radí, na základě jakých měřítek kreténa ropoznat a definovat, vyčísluje jím způsobené škody, radí, jak se ho zbavit, pokud je to vůbec možné, jak přežít na pracovišti, které ovládá, jaké jsou jeho kladné vlastnosti a jak se nestát jedním z nich.

Good Boss, Bad Boss was inspired by the thousands of emails, calls and conversations that Robert Sutton received after publishing his bestseller The No Asshole Rule ? he found that most of the stories and cries for help he received revolved around one central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. Sutton's subsequent research showed that the success of every boss depended heavily on how well (or badly) they managed those they worked with and in Good Boss, Bad Boss he demonstrates this by weaving together the best psychological and management secrets with true stories, to reveal the mindset and moves of the best bosses, and contrasts them with the behaviour of the worst. If you want to understand how the best bosses think and act so that you can get better at your job or find a better boss to work for, Good Boss, Bad Boss has all the answers.

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.

This fascinating book critically utilizes scholarly material to explore how Jesus and Albert Camus responded to the existential realities of evil. An interdisciplinary work, it charts a course through complex issues and vast amounts of scholarly literature employing a cogent and eloquent prose style. By way of literary analysis, it demonstrates that the immediate social contexts, characterized by rapid social change and symbolic disintegration, are evidenced in both the forms and content of Jesus' parables and Camus' writings. This analysis leads to the insight that Jesus and Camus rejected the prevailing moralistic and religious ways of explaining evil in favor of an «artistic» response to this existential problem.
