Биография и Путь Автора

Robert I. Sutton was born and raised in the United States, developing an intellectual curiosity early in life that led him to the University of Michigan, where he earned a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology. His academic journey found a permanent home at Stanford University, where he has served since 1983, initially as Professor of Management Science & Engineering and, as of 2023, Professor Emeritus. Sutton’s formative years were marked not just by disciplinary excellence, but by an eagerness to explore the intersection of theory and real-world organizational dynamics, which would become a hallmark of his career.

Цитаты

quote
Creativity isn't about wild talent as much as it's about productivity. To find new ideas that work, you need to try a lot that don't. It's a pure numbers game
-A-Z Quotes
quote
The difference between how a person treats the powerless versus the powerful is as good a measure of human character as I know
-The No Asshole Rule
quote
If you are a boss, ask yourself: When you look back at how you’ve treated followers, peers, and superiors, in their eyes, will you have earned the right to be proud of yourself? Or will they believe that you ought to be ashamed of yourself and embarrassed by how you have trampled on others’ dignity day after day?
-Good Boss, Bad Boss
quote
As much as I believe in tolerance and fairness, I have never lost a wink of sleep about being unapologetically intolerant of anyone who refuses to show respect for those around them
-The No Asshole Rule
quote
Make sure that slow learners are rewarded – or at least not punished – for expressing their deviant views and acting in odd ways
-QuoteFancy
quote
Good bosses focus their attention, and their people’s efforts, on the small number of things that matter most. The best bosses learn when they can and should ignore the least important demands from others
-QuoteFancy
quote
Decision makers operating under excessive scrutiny tend to make the choices that are the easiest to justify rather than those they think are the best
-LibQuotes
quote
The best single question for testing an organization’s character is: What happens when people make mistakes?
-PictureQuotes
quote
Be wary when people tell you that they don't produce a lot, but when they do, it will be 'brilliant.' Remember that innovation is largely a function of productivity
