Robert Sutton
Most people have at least one horror story about a bad boss. If you’re lucky, you’ve also experienced a really good boss.
Our guest, Robert Sutton, has a thing or two to say on the subject of bosses. Sutton is a professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford, and the author of Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best…and Learn from the Worst.
Sutton’s previous books include the bestseller, The No-Asshole Rule, Weird Ideas That Work, Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths & Total Nonsense, and The Knowing-Doing Gap.
We asked Sutton for his take on some famous bosses like Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Steve Ballmer, and Tony Hayward. And we asked him to weigh in on the impact (if any) of the “reality” show, Undercover Boss, on how bosses behave.
