Good Boss, Bad Boss de Robert I. Sutton

Good Boss, Bad Boss

Autor Robert I. Sutton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2012

Multe manuale de leadership perpetuează mitul conform căruia autoritatea provine exclusiv din ierarhie sau din rezultate brute, ignorând dinamica umană a biroului. În Good Boss, Bad Boss, profesorul Robert I. Sutton demontează această idee, demonstrând că un management de succes nu este un produs al norocului, ci al unei conștientizări de sine riguroase. Observăm că autorul nu se limitează la a critica comportamentele toxice — temă pe care a explorat-o extensiv în The No Asshole Rule — ci face pasul următor: oferă o foaie de parcurs pentru cei care vor să inspire demnitate și performanță.

Descoperim aici o analiză a modului în care marii lideri, precum Steve Jobs sau Ed Catmull, și-au calibrat tehnicile pentru a rămâne „în rezonanță” cu subalternii lor. Complementar volumului How to Be a Great Boss de Gino Wickman, care se concentrează pe procese operaționale, lucrarea lui Sutton acoperă zona psihologică profundă, explicând cum stările și mișcările unui șef sunt interpretate de echipă și cum pot fi ajustate în timp real. Față de The Asshole Survival Guide, care este un manual de auto-apărare pentru angajați, acest titlu este un instrument de construcție pentru cei aflați la conducere.

Ne-a atras atenția rigoarea academică specifică Stanfordului, tradusă într-un limbaj accesibil. Sutton nu oferă doar rețete, ci subliniază importanța „grit”-ului (perseverenței) și a controlului emoțional. Cartea este structurată astfel încât să transforme teoria în practică, ajutându-vă să înțelegeți de ce anumite intervenții eșuează și cum să generați mândrie profesională în rândul celor pe care îi coordonați.

Descriere scurtă

Now with a new 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 adds 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 are a boss who wants to do great work, what can you do about it? Good Boss, Bad Boss is devoted to answering that question. Stanford Professor Robert Sutton weaves together the best psychological and management research with compelling stories and cases to reveal the mindset and moves of the best (and worst) bosses. This book was inspired by the deluge of emails, research, phone calls, and conversations that Dr. Sutton experienced after publishing his blockbuster bestseller The No Asshole Rule. He realized that most of these stories and studies swirled around a central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. These heart-breaking, inspiring, and sometimes funny stories taught Sutton that most bosses - and their followers - wanted a lot more than just a jerk-free workplace. They aspired to become (or work for) an all-around great boss, somebody with the skill and grit to inspire superior work, commitment, and dignity among their charges.
As Dr. Sutton digs into the nitty-gritty of what the best (and worst) bosses do, a theme runs throughout Good Boss, Bad Boss - which brings together the diverse lessons and is a hallmark of great bosses: They work doggedly to "stay in tune" with how their followers (and superiors, peers, and customers too) react to what they say and do. The best bosses are acutely aware that their success depends on having the self-awareness to control their moods and moves, to accurately interpret their impact on others, and to make adjustments on the fly that continuously spark effort, dignity, and pride among their people.

Recenzii

This book is the personal coach that every boss deserves: warm, smart, and freakishly good at translating scientific reserach into practical tips that will help keep you at the top of your game.—Chip & Dan Heath, authors of Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard
I loved this book - immediately my favorite business book. There are so many great principles and ideas to live up to, backed up by real data - it should be every boss' responsibility to read and understand it.—John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla Corporation, producer of the Firefox web browser
Good Boss, Bad Boss does a wonderful job of challenging conventional wisdom while outlining a clear and compelling rationale for thinking differently. From Sutton's useful steps for getting "in tune" with what it feels like to work for you, to evidence that eliminating the negative is more powerful than accentuating the positive, to the importance of demonstrating confidence with the admission that you're not always right. Good Boss, Bad Boss teaches the art and the science of practical leadership for the 21st century. I would consider it a must-read for anyone looking to improve their impact and accelerate their desired outcomes.—Brad Smith, CEO of Intuit
We are damned lucky to have Bob Sutton. While his every word is backed up by significant research, he writes in simple sentences that make enormous sense. Typical in this book, Sutton's little chart in Chapter 3, 'Smart Versus Wise Bosses,' is worth, all by itself, 100 times the price of admission. Good Boss, Bad Boss is as good as it gets.—Tom Peters, author of The Little Big Things and co-author of In Search of Excellence
It has been damn near impossible to find consistently good and objective insight and analysis from business thought leaders. But Robert I. Sutton, a professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford and the Stanford Institute of Design (where we have overlapped), is an exception. His new book, out now, is his best to date. Good Boss, Bad Boss is food for thought for managers and leaders in organizations large and small. It is packed with insight, lists of "how to" suggestions, and questions for bosses to ask themselves.—Reuters

Descriere

Good Boss, Bad Boss was inspired by the thousands of emails, calls and conversations that Robert Sutton received after publishing his bestseller The No Asshole Rule - he found that most of the stories and cries for help he received revolved around one central figure in every workplace: THE BOSS. Sutton's subsequent research showed that the success of every boss depended heavily on how well (or badly) they managed those they worked with and in Good Boss, Bad Boss he demonstrates this by weaving together the best psychological and management secrets with true stories, to reveal the mindset and moves of the best bosses, and contrasts them with the behaviour of the worst. If you want to understand how the best bosses think and act so that you can get better at your job or find a better boss to work for, Good Boss, Bad Boss has all the answers.
