"It was hard to pass over the "A...." word in this book but I was glad it wasn't as frequent as the title implies. The material is very good and helpful to me in my job. This book was recommended to me by a coworker due to some issues I'm dealing with in my department. The book provided excellent insight. I think every manager should read this book or anyone that has anger management issues. It would also be helpful to anyone that works with bullies.
From this book I realized that if you are working with bullies and not doing anything about it, with time their "poison" spreads and you will become like them. this book gave me courage to approach my manager and deal with issues that I would have ignored previously. If I don't address the problems, then I risk getting to my breaking point and exploding which is also unprofessional behavior."
"Great read for anyone in a toxic workplace, of which there are many these days. Whether you are a manager or simply working for a manager who doesn't have the people skills of a gnat this is the book for you. I read it the first time thinking, "just another management book". I read it the second time paying much closer attention to the details, often laughing out loud when I recognized people I worked with, for, and sometimes even myself.
I have bought this book as a gift for several of my friends and once anonymously for a manager."
"A better title than a book, I commend the author for standing his ground and getting what he wanted on the jacket. I wish I could have commended the editor for getting what he should have out of the writer."
"Everybody knows one, either at work or a neighbor or your uncle Joe. You cannot go through life without experiencing an a**hole. Bob Sutton's book not only describes the various forms of a**hole but also gives some tips on dealing with them. They do not only affect the people they happen to be abusing at the time but innocent bystanders are hurt in the process, too. He tells how a**holes can destroy an office environment and even a company. He also includes a test to see if you are one (he says we all are at one point or another, the difference is between temporary and permanent a**holes). He uses ancedotes sent to him by people after he wrote an article for the Harvard Business Review with the same name. Most are just hilarious because I have been there with some of my old bosses. Some are sad, too, as they describe people who are just mean. I showed it too my boss, who is not one, by the way, and told him this should be required reading for the company. Great book! Get it if for nothing else but to use as a coping mechanism or to make sure you don't turn into one yourself."
