The No Asshole Rule

Not very impressed with this one. It came highly recommended, but I found it shallow, skating by on the shock value its author believes his choice of vocabulary has. I kept waiting for the part where Sutton dished out all the good advice he was promising, and could hardly believe it when I realized the book was ending, it having offered so little.

Here's the advice: You're probably a jerk sometimes even though you think you aren't, and you should stop. When the problem is someone else, try to tune it out until you can find a new job.

There. That was a lot faster than reading this. The most useful advice I got out of it was to monitor my own behavior more closely. I don't recommend this one.

Nice . I have had excountered few in my life . Mostly in the professional world; are full of them . Preciously those are power hungry . Eye opener.

One small point I beg to differ; somewhere in book I read,” you get into an organization where everybody of the company wants you”...that's bit hypothetical or the guy should really really well known to everyone.

Or did I missed the point? Please explain what do you mean by “everyone” in the company?

Thanks for writing such an important topic. Wish I could read it much earlier.

Thanks,
