Don’t Be An Asshole
Guy Kawasaki reviews a book that will be immediately purchased and moved to the top of my ‘to-read’ stack — “The No Asshole Rule” by Robert Sutton. (But… I mean… not because I personally need it or anything.)
Sutton is the same guy who wrote “Weird Ideas That Work“, one of my favorite books on innovation in the workplace. (I really need to add that title to my online bookshelf.)
In case you think you may BE an asshole, Guy’s article shares ten tips on how to avoiding the label. In case you KNOW an asshole, there are seven pieces of advice on dealing with them.
While I definitely plunk down the bucks for this book, it looks very similar to a series of books I’ve had on my Amazon WishList for awhile. I think I’m going to purchase and compare them. Let me know if any of you have read the books listed below:
Asshole No More
Assholes Forever
The Asshole Conspiracy
The books were written using an obvious pen name (Dr. Xavier Crement, MD — a proctologist), so I’d be curious to know if it was Sutton all along?
