My guest today is Robert Sutton, a Professor of Management science at the Stanford Engineering School and researcher in the field of Evidence-based management. Sutton is also the best-selling author of “The No Asshole Rule.” What does it mean to live in a “no asshole environment”? It means to weed out the people who demean and make you and others feel horrible. He gives the science and craft behind how to deal with assholes, how to prune these people from your life and get out of negative situations.
The topics are his books The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't and The Asshole Survival Guide: How to Deal with People Who Treat You Like Dirt.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
