Bob Sutton, author of "The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving business financial factoring ne That Isn't" was interviewed on NPR yesterday talking about how to deal with disruptive employees'. I've always admired (and worked for) firms that enforce the 'no jerk rule'. Sutton, on NPR, tells of a firm that hired a professional that brought in $500,000 in revenue, but because of his bad behavior, cost the firm $200,000 a year in replacing secretaries twice a year, executive coaching and anger management counseling. Jerks don't pay, with one exception, Sutton mentions in a video essay on www.50lessons.com . Keeping a tolerable jerk around can show the other people on the team/company exactly what bad behavior is and what the consequences are for misbehaving. In my opinion, enforcing the "No Jerk Rule" is one of the most productive tasks a leader has in a law firm. Sutton comments about one firm that failed to enfoce the rule. I'll let you read the post , and the linked story, but he summarizes with, "This is the kind of thing that gives lawyers the reputation for being assholes, especially males. I will refrain from a summary: You have to read it yourself. By the way, a few years before this incident, the firm was bragging about their "no jerk rule." I guess they were using talk as a substituite -- or perhaps a smokescreen -- for action" Sutton gives three suggestions for how to deal with a jerk: 1.

The 2007 International Surfing Association (ISA) World Masters Surfing Championships loom, but British hopes have been dented by an injury to Newquay surfer Jed Stone. Stone, 53, was training when his hamstring popped, and is now hoping that physiotherpay will see him right for the contest. No wonder he's keen to get there, for besides the prestige of competing for the British team there is the prospect of surfing in the warm waters of Rincon, Puerto Rico from 20 to 28 January. The event is being hosted by the Puerto Rico Surfing Federation and features surfers from over 15 countries including Brazil, Columbia, France, Britain, Portugal, Tahiti and Sweden. Yes, Sweden. The British contigent is made up of Stone (injury permitting) and Saltburn's Gary Rogers in the Kahunas (over 45s) category, Roger Knight and Daz Wright in the Grandmasters (over 40s) and long-time Newquay stand-outs Lee Bartlett and Grishka Roberts in the Masters (over 35s). The British team - with no less than 57 British, English and European championship trw credit report itles between them - has a wealth of experience, and hopes are high that they will return to these considerably colder shores with the first British World Surfing title for... well, a long time. Here's a shot of Gary Rogers warming up at one of the perfect north-east waves on his doorstep. See www.smsc-surfing.com for more information.
