Robert I. Sutton Orden de los libros (cronológico)

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.

Sutton starts with diagnosis: what kind of asshole problem, exactly, are you dealing with? From there, he provides field-tested, evidence-based, and sometimes surprising strategies for dealing with assholes-- avoiding them, outwitting them, disarming them, sending them packing, and developing protective psychological armor. By helping you develop an outlook and personal plan that will help you preserve the sanity in your work life, Sutton also help you prevent all those perfectly good days from being ruined by some jerk.

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.

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.

No-one is against creativity. Everyone agrees that creativity is a very good thing in people and in companies. The creative industries are where the action is, so creativity must be a good thing. However, it's not altogether clear what creativity is, and it certainly isn't easy to work out how to encourage it, to manage it, and above all how to profit from it.
