The No Asshole Rule

Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't
Book • 2007
In this book, Robert I. Sutton discusses the destructive impact of 'assholes' in the workplace, providing strategies for identifying and eliminating negative influences.

He introduces the concept of the 'Total Cost of Assholes' (TCA) and offers practical advice on how to build a more civilized and productive work environment.

The book includes case studies from various organizations and provides a self-diagnostic test to help readers identify and manage their own behavior.

Sutton also explores the difference between 'temporary' and 'certified' assholes and how to deal with each type effectively.
