Now with a fresh chapter that focuses on what great bosses really do. Dr. Sutton reveals new insights that he’s learned since the writing of Good Boss, Bad Boss. Sutton provides revelatory thoughts about such legendary bosses as Ed Catmull, Steve Jobs, A.G. Lafley, and many more, and how you can implement their techniques.

If you’re a boss who would like to carry out great function, what can you carry out about it? Great Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that issue. Stanford Teacher Robert Sutton weaves together about Good Boss, Bad Manager: How to Be the very best… and Study from the Worst the best emotional and management research with compelling stories and situations to reveal the attitude and moves of the greatest (and worst) bosses. This reserve was inspired by the deluge of email messages, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after posting his blockbuster bestseller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that a lot of of these tales and studies swirled around a central number in every office: THE Employer. These heart-breaking, uplifting, and occasionally funny stories taught Sutton that a lot of bosses – and their followers – wanted a lot more than only a jerk-free office. They aspired to become (or function for) an all-around great manager, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire excellent work, dedication, and dignity amongst their charges.

As Dr. Sutton digs in to the nitty-gritty of what the very best (and most severe) bosses do, a theme works throughout Good Manager, Bad Boss – which includes the different lessons and is a hallmark of great bosses: They function doggedly to ‘stay in melody’ with how their fans (and superiors, peers, and customers too) respond to what they say and do. The very best bosses are acutely aware that their achievement depends on having the self-awareness to regulate their moods and moves, to accurately interpret their effect on others, also to make adjustments on the soar that constantly spark work, dignity, and pride amongst their people.
