Actually, I didn\u2019t want to write another book. \u201cFive are enough!\u201d is what I said to my publisher. And then you showed up. In the past few months I kept hearing so many things about you all: megalomaniac bosses, decision-makers who can\u2019t make decisions, crackbrained colleagues and clients who don\u2019t respect boundaries. I\u2019m sorry, I just couldn\u2019t help myself.<\/p>\n

Bad bosses have always been around. Yet lately these slight excentricities have grown into a gaping abyss of bad behavior: it can\u2019t go on like this anymore! Is what I thought. And wrote. And now it\u2019s here. The Anti-Asshole-Manual that will help you to turn a notorious scumbag or a cold-hearted bitch of a boss into a tolerable superior, an acceptable boss.<\/p>\n

Right now, I am working on five projects at once. I can only manage this because I am privileged enough to work with highly competent teams (And because I try not to be an asshole). This doesn\u2019t come automatically. You have to want it. And know a bit about the typical asshole-cases you find in everyday management.<\/p>\n

In my latest book, the majority of practical examples have once again come from you, my dear readers. Thank you very much \u2013 you may recognise yourself in some of the cases. If you remember any other nasty episodes or horrific anecdotes when reading this: DO NOT HESITATE to share them with me! I absolutely love every email like this.<\/p>\n

It would make me really happy if, after reading this book, you have managed to turn a weak boss into a bearable or even great superior\/mentor\/role model, or maybe you\u2019ll just be a lot better at dealing with an unpleasant situation – so that you can begin to enjoy your work, again. This is my sincere hope for you!<\/p>\n
