Impressions are a powerful thing. At work they are often the basis of work relationships and movement. In your private life it can influence having true friends. However, in our society most people won’t tell you to your face, “Hey, nice weather today. You’re an asshole.”

At work or personally, everyone has dealt with that asshole, be it the obnoxious co-worker or the overbearing boss (If not, then consider that maybe you are the asshole everyone else is dealing with). Guy Kawasaki recently had a mini series on his site about Bob Sutton’s The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t. I found this very interesting on a topic many of us bitch about daily; the writer even has an Asshole Rating Self Exam. This was the important part I think everyone should check out. Just because you think you’re Little Miss Sunshine doesn’t mean others around you don’t think you’re Grade A Dick (A for Asshole). Maybe you’re wondering what others at work are thinking about you…this could give you a good guess.
