Know How Talks at IDEO
Bob Sutton: Good Boss, Bad Boss
Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University
Thursday, September 8, 2010
5pm
IDEO Café
Free and open to the public
*Moderated by IDEO’s Diego Rodriguez
Bob Sutton is an IDEO Fellow and will be visiting us for a Know How to
kick off the world tour for his new book,
Good Boss, Bad Boss.
Sutton studies innovation, leaders and bosses, evidence-based
management, the links between knowledge
and organizational action, and workplace civility. Sutton was named as
one of 10 “B-School All-Stars” by
BusinessWeek in 2007, which they described as “professors who are
influencing contemporary business
thinking far beyond academia.” His books include the New York Times
and BusinessWeek bestseller
The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One
That Isn’t. His latest book is
Good Boss, Bad Boss: How to Be the Best… and Survive the Worst. Sutton
is an IDEO Fellow and a board
member at the Institute for the Future. His blog is Work Matters, at
www.bobsutton.net.
In “Good Boss, Bad Boss”, Sutton shows how bosses can master
essentials like striking the right balance
between being too assertive and not assertive enough, leavening their
confidence with just enough humility,
bringing in the right stars and reforming (or expelling) bad apples,
linking talk to action, shielding their
people from unnecessary intrusions and idiots of every stripe, doing
dirty work like disciplining and firing
employees in timely and humane ways, and keeping their inner jerk from
rearing its ugly head.
The Know How Talks are usually held on Wednesdays or Thursdays at
5:00, in IDEO's Palo Alto cafe next to our lobby at 100 Forest. Enter
from the alley between Alma St and High St.
The talks are open to the public. No need to RSVP.
