Life is too short
Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Based on a plethora of solid research, Robert Sutton of Stanford University delivers a clear insight into the most common problem in the workplace today. Here are just a few truths from his The No Asshole Rule:
- Power breeds nastiness.
- Assholes breed like rabbits; if you have one in a hiring position, it will simply clone itself.
- Asshole poisoning is a contagious disease that anyone can catch.
- Life is too short to be spent working with mean-spirited jerks.
- Don’t join the jerks (attributed to Leonardo da Vinci).
You can also take online rating tests for yourself, your boss, or a client on the author’s website.
P.S. A client of mine scored 19 (out of 20) points on his ACHE test; sayonara to them.
