Robert I. Sutton Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

All too often, getting important things done at work is hard, soul crushing and convoluted. Too much precious time is spent wading through corporate gunk. Friction eats away at our energy, creativity and productivity and makes business slow and unproductive. And yet so frequently, organisations make the wrong things easier to do, taking down guardrails when they should in fact hit the brakes. Over the past decade, Stanford professors Robert Sutton and Huggy Rao have made it their mission to understand this phenomenon. Now, in this no-nonsense guide, they have assembled the very best of their collective wisdom. They show how to cut down unnecessary bureaucracy, overcome obstacles and banish the unhelpful systems that avert real progress. The Friction Project is essential reading, whether you're the CEO of a multinational, an employee dealing with difficult colleagues, or a freelancer seeking to streamline the way you operate.

The first full account of the crucial work done at Fort Hunt, Virginia during World War II, where the highest-level German prisoners were interrogated, and captured documents analyzed.

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.

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.

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.

Robert Suttons Vorschläge sind nicht nur schräg, sie klingen verrückt: Seien Sie in Ihrem Unternehmen ein Querdenker, haben Sie Mut zur Eigenwilligkeit – egal, ob Sie Chef oder Angestellter sind! Denn erst unkonventionelle Ideen setzen innovatives Potential frei, generieren neue Projekte und führen langfristig zu Optimierung und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Robert I. Sutton erläutert elf Querdenker-Ideen, die ein Unternehmen zum Erfolg führen können. Dazu gehört ganz grundsätzlich, dass Unternehmen experimentieren, einen neuen Typus von Mitarbeiter einstellen und neue Technologien entwickeln müssen. Sie müssen neue Ideen zulassen, um Kundenbedürfnisse zu befriedigen, in neuen Märkten Fuß zu fassen oder Wettbewerber zu überholen. Folgt man Suttons Regeln, werden schlummernde Innovationskräfte freigesetzt.

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.

Challenges leaders to commit to evidence-based management as a way of organizational life - and shows how to turn this common sense into common practice.
