An updated new edition of the definitive guide to working with — and surviving — bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work. 

“What an asshole!”

How many times have you said that about someone you work with? You’re not alone! In the 20th anniversary edition of this groundbreaking book, Stanford University professor Robert I. Sutton builds on his acclaimed Harvard Business Review article to help you understand why assholes can be so destructive to your company…and the best way to deal with them. 

 Practical, compassionate, and downright funny, this guide offers:
 

  • Strategies on how to pinpoint and eliminate negative influences 
  • Illuminating case histories from major organizations
  • A self-diagnostic test and a program to identify and keep your own “inner jerk” from coming out
     

The No Asshole Rule is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller.
