“It’s about the tools!”

“No, it’s about (company) culture!”

DON’T-BE-AN-ASSHOLE

(Pardon the language,but it’s a technical organizational dynamics

research term now)

DON’T-BE-AN-ASSHOLE

(At least, according to the Stanford research)

This is not “being an Asshole”

DON’T-BE-AN-ASSHOLE

•Test One: After talking to the alleged asshole, does the “target” feel oppressed, humiliated, de-energized, or belittled by the person? In particular, does the target feel worse about him or herself?

•Test Two: Does the alleged asshole aim his or her venom at people who are less powerful rather than at those people who are more powerful?

DON’T-BE-AN-ASSHOLE

•Warnaco insiders told the New York Times, “[The CEO’s] personal criticism of employees, among other things, has led to excessive staff turnover and robbed the company of talent it needed to maintain quality operations.”

•One set of researchers tried to estimate the “TCA” of one asshole at a company; for one year, the bill came to $160,000
