How to Survive Workplace Jerks
Through the thousands of emails and conversations that Stanford Professor Bob Sutton has amassed, he’s gathered countless personal stories about the damage that bullies and backstabbers do. He’s also closely tracked the growing pile of academic research on pertinent topics, including workplace bullying, abusive supervision, rudeness, and disrespectful and demeaning customers.
From it all, Bob’s created the definitive guide to working with -- and surviving -- bullies, creeps, jerks, tyrants, tormentors, despots, backstabbers, egomaniacs, and all the other assholes who do their best to destroy you at work: The Asshole Survival Guide.
In this webinar, Bob will discuss key themes from the book, including how to escape, endure, outwit, battle, and bring down assholes. And he will weave in some of his favorite strange, surprising, and funny stories to keep things lively.
