FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER OF THE NO ASSHOLE RULE

Being around assholes sucks. Whether at work or outside of it, they lower morale and can damage performance: having one in a team has been shown to reduce performance by 30 to 40%.

In The Asshole Survival Guide, Robert Sutton, professor of management science at Stanford, offers practical advice on identifying and tackling any kind of asshole. Based on research into groups from uncivil civil servants to French bus drivers, and 8,000 emails that he has received on asshole behaviour, Sutton uses his expertise and humour to provide a methodical game-plan:

First, perform an asshole audit with his detection strategies. Second, use field-tested techniques from asshole avoidance to the art of love bombing. Finally, discover the dangers of asshole blindness - when the problem might be yours truly . . .
