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.

Now featuring a new chapter on what great bosses truly do, Dr. Sutton shares insights gained since his previous work. He discusses legendary figures like Ed Catmull and Steve Jobs, offering techniques for aspiring bosses. This book addresses the question: what can you do to excel as a boss? Dr. Sutton, a Stanford Professor, combines psychological and management research with engaging stories to illustrate the behaviors of both effective and ineffective bosses. The inspiration for this book came from the numerous emails and conversations he had after his bestseller, The No Asshole Rule, which revealed a common focus: the boss. Many stories highlighted a desire for more than just a pleasant workplace; they reflected a yearning for great leadership that fosters commitment and dignity. As Dr. Sutton explores the actions of the best and worst bosses, a central theme emerges: great bosses strive to understand how their words and actions affect their teams, peers, and customers. They recognize that their success hinges on self-awareness, the ability to manage their emotions, and the skill to adapt in ways that inspire effort and pride among their employees.

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.

Drawing on case studies that range from Silicon Valley enterprises to non- profit organisations, this book provides crucial insights into corporate cultures, both good and bad, and offer a road map for establishing and stimulating excellence.
