Sutton's piece became one of the most popular articles ever to appear in the HBR. Spurred on by the fear and despair that people expressed, the tricks they used to survive with dignity in asshole-infested places, the revenge stories that made him laugh out loud and the other small wins that they celebrated against mean-spirited people, Sutton was persuaded to write THE NO ASSHOLE RULE.\u003cbr\u003eHe believes passionately that civilised workplaces are not a naive dream, that they do exist, do bolster performance and that widespread contempt can be erased and replaced with mutual respect when a team or organisation is managed right. There is a huge temptation by executives and those in positions of authority to overlook this trait especially when exhibited by so-called producers, but Sutton shows how overall productivity suffers when the workplace is subjected to this kind of stress.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298803822965,"sku":"9780749954031","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780749954031_0ee5fa8f-0b4c-410c-af7f-827abb35ad5f.jpg?v=1786014864"},{"product_id":"9780749954758","title":"Good Boss, Bad Boss","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe No Asshole Rule\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'I am frequently asked, \"Tom, my brother\/sister\/friend is taking on a new leadership role.
