Description

We all know employees who are insensitive to their colleagues: Let's face it every office has workers who are flat-out rude, selfish, uncivil, mean-spirited, and who really don't seem to care about whom they step on. They're the kind of people who make you exclaim, "What an asshole!"

This groundbreaking audiobook is more than just a reflection on the issue of social friction among corporate colleagues. Dr. Sutton sheds analytical light on how this ongoing problem ruins morale, lowers productivity, and can devastate a company's culture. Sutton not only confronts this issue directly, but also provides extensive strategies and insights into how your company can pinpoint and eliminate this problem. In the end you will ask yourself, "Am I part of the problem...or part of the solution?"

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
Did the HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW really print an article that used the word "asshole" eight times? Apparently so, and from it evolved this audiobook, a handy guide to the domineering bullies found in the workplace, on the sports field, and in government. Turns out that these "kiss up, kick down" individuals don't just ruin our day, they also cost business and government a great deal of time and money. Is there hope? Sutton seems to think so and offers systems, case studies, and ideas for weeding out these unpleasant individuals. The author reads this abridgment in a friendly, informative style, making it one of the stronger business titles this season. R.W.S. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
