The No Asshole

Rule.

And they were not.

And then the Asshole Survival Guide because I got 8,000 emails.

I work for an a** boss.

What the hell do I do, basically? That email.

If you look at the weight of the academic literature...

Yeah, strategic assholes.

... is that the idea?

That, that's a goal.

But, but, but, but to be more realistic, uh, there's a woman named Rebecca Hines.

So we worked with Rebecca on this thing called a meeting reset with 60 Asana employees.

Rebecca did most of the work, to be clear.

And, and what she had, um, 60 employees do is go through and rate every standing meeting on their calendar in terms of how important it was and how much work it was.

And they found that a whole bunch of the meetings were valueless, and in fact, one thing, 30 of them removed all standing meetings from their calendar for 48 hours and put them back in.

Yeah, yeah.
