Robert I. Sutton is an organizational psychologist and a professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University. He has authored several New York Times bestselling books, including "Scaling Up Excellence", "Good Boss, Bad Boss", and "The No Asshole Rule". Sutton has contributed significantly to the field through his research on leadership, innovation, organizational change, and workplace dynamics. Notably, he has published more than 200 articles, chapters, and case studies across a range of scholarly and applied outlets.
Sutton received his Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from The University of Michigan and has been a part of the Stanford faculty since 1983. He transitioned to Professor Emeritus in 2024, after serving as a professor through 2023.

His latest collaborative work with Huggy Rao, "The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder" is set for publication in January 2024. This book is a comprehensive exploration of organizational inefficiencies and practical leadership strategies. Sutton's ongoing involvement in the "Friction Project" demonstrates his commitment to enhancing how organizations operate and lead. Additionally, his advisory roles with Teamraderie and Asana’s Work Innovation Lab highlight his continued influence in improving team trust, performance, and innovation in workplace settings.
