    Il metodo antistronzi. Come creare un ambiente di lavoro più civile e produttivo o sopravvivere se il tuo non lo è
    • Questo libro è dedicato a chi sul posto di lavoro subisce abusi di ogni tipo da parte di superiori e colleghi e a tutti coloro i quali hanno il potere e il dovere (oltre che l'interesse) di cambiare le cose. In questo volume, di grande leggibilità e al contempo condotto con estrema serietà nei contenuti e ricchezza di esempi, Robert I. Sutton affronta il problema del mobbing da un punto di vista originale: le conseguenze economiche che esso provoca alle aziende. Gli "stronzi" - un termine che non consente eufemismi, come sostiene l'autore - provocano danni enormi non solo alle loro vittime ma anche alla performance aziendale nel suo complesso, a tutti quelli che ne subiscono di riflesso gli effetti e, non ultimo a se stessi. Le conseguenze, in termini economici, emergono dagli studi effettuati negli Usa e in Europa sui costi derivati dell'aumento del Turnover (il 25% delle vittime del bullismo e il 20% di chi semplicemente vi assiste lasciano il posto di lavoro), dall'assenteismo, dal calo della dedizione al lavoro. Sutton non si limita però alla sola analisi della situazione ma fornisce, in termini chiari e inequivocabili, suggerimenti pratici sia ai dipendenti che ai manager per creare un luogo di lavoro vivibile e veramente produttivo. Ricco di umorismo e di un sano buon senso, il volume vuole essere rigoroso dal punto di vista tecnico/pratico/scientifico pur non essendo un freddo manuale di management.

      The No Asshole Rule : Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn´t
    • 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.
