If you are serious about becoming a skilled and compassionate boss, Good Boss, Bad Boss is the essential guide.
Comment savoir si votre chef, votre supérieur hiérarchique, celui que vous côtoyez au quotidien, est un connard occasionnel ou patenté ? Comment circonscrire sa capacité de nuisance ? Et - si c'est vous qui êtes amené à gérer une équipe - comment devenir un bon patron, mettant votre succès personnel au service du bien-être des subordonnés et de l'organisation ? Petit chef ou vrai patron ? n'est pas un manuel de management aride : on y découvre qu'un bon chef est têtu mais pas trop, décidé mais capable de tenir sa colère sous contrôle, sachant la tempérer d'empathie. Il sait quand il faut remercier ou s'excuser, mais aussi quand mettre « les mains dans le cambouis ».Sans prétendre fournir de recette infaillible, Sutton nous montre ce qu'est un vrai patron et comment le devenir, en s'inspirant des meilleurs et en apprenant des erreurs des pires.

Scaling up excellence is the key to creating a great organisation. It's how a small enterprise expands without losing focus. It's how a brilliant new idea or plan developed by the few goes on to be adopted by the many. And, in hard times and tough situations, it's how pockets of smart new thinking overcome cultures of indifference or negativity. An organisation that doesn't know how to scale up what is best within it won't achieve long-term success.
Bestselling author Robert Sutton and his Stanford colleague Huggy Rao have devoted nearly a decade to uncovering what it takes to create and spread outstanding performance, and in Scaling Up Excellence they share the fruits of their research. Drawing on case studies that range from Silicon Valley enterprises to non-profit organisations, they provide crucial insights into corporate cultures, both good and bad, and offer a road map for establishing and stimulating excellence. In the process, they show how to use 'premortems' when making big decisions about change. They reveal why seven is so often the magic number when it comes to team size. They examine successful and unsuccessful quests for improvement - in hospitals, schools and elsewhere. And they discuss when a single corporate mindset is best ('Catholicism') and when local variation is preferable ('Buddhism'). Scaling Up Excellence is the first management book devoted to what is - or should be - a core priority for every organisation. As such it is destined to become the standard bearer.
