Вы можете называть таких людей негодяями, мерзавцами, козлами, тиранами, законченными эгоистами или даже мудаками – в любом случае вы сталкивались и сталкиваетесь с ними на работе – с деструктивными представителями коллектива, которые только и могут, что критиковать и издеваться. Они доставляют коллегам проблемы и снижают производительность всей организации. Роберт Саттон в своей книге не только рассказывает, как это происходит, но и показывает, как изменить таких людей, расстаться с теми, кого изменить нельзя, как снизить вред для компании и наладить здоровые взаимоотношения внутри нее. Цивилизованные и продуктивные рабочие коллективы существуют, и вы можете добиться, чтобы у вас был именно такой коллектив. Рост производительности и результатов компании не заставит себя ждать. Роберт Саттон – преподаватель менеджмента и инженерного дела в Стэнфордском университете, а также организационного поведения в Стэнфордской бизнес-школе. Роберт Саттон изучает поведение лидеров и руководителей. Кроме того, он организует семинары для руководителей высшего и среднего звена, работающих в десятках отраслей более чем в 25 странах мира. В 2007 году BusinessWeek назвал Саттона в числе десяти «звезд бизнес-школ» – то есть, как пояснил журнал, «преподавателей, оказывающих влияние на формирование современного делового мышления далеко за рамками академической деятельности». Автор книг «Искусство быть хорошим руководителем», «Охота за идеями» и других пособий по менеджменту.
