Huh?  How did that happen?

I was just poking around the web, and to my amazement, I ran into a book that just came out on March 29, 2011 called (see the Amazon link if you want): Good Boss, Bad Boss: Lessons from Effective and Not-So-Effective Managers. It written  by a consultant named Dr. Doreen McGunagle, CEO of Global Strategic Management Solutions. Note the title is identical to my Good Boss, Bad Boss, and the subtitle is also very close to my "How to be the best… and learn from the worst."  I will buy the book and read it to make sure that none of the content is lifted ( I suspect it is not, I certainly hope it is not). 

I sent this information to my publisher and they may take some kind of action against her.  I am not a big believer in suing people in general, and honestly, in this case, I don't think this book will do any financial damage to me.   But my main reaction is just to be disgusted, to wonder how this could happen?  Did she see my title and then forget it existed — but then later believe she had invented it herself?  We humans do things like this sometimes.  That is the most charitable explanation.  The others are much less charitable, that she is trying to get book sales and consulting work on the back of the the original Good Boss, Bad Boss as it was a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller.   I am not angry with the author, rather, mostly dismayed that anyone would be sloppy or so brazen as to lift the title of another management book and to treat it as her own.  She ought to be embarrassed and ashamed, which is punishment enough.  If she isn't, and believes her actions are defensible, well, I think that reflects even more poorly on her. 

So, that was my little surprise today.  I was pretty shocked by the whole thing, and the more I think about, the harder it is for me to understand why and how this happened. What is the upside for her or her publisher?  Doesn't it just reflect badly on them? 

I would appreciate any thoughts that readers might have, as this whole thing has me quite befuddled.

    This is very annoying. I noticed that the publisher is “CreateSpace” wich is a self publishing outfit. https://www.createspace.com/
    No publisher actually reviewed this before it was published, so this is 100% the responsibility of the author.
    Unfortunately, when I was teaching college classes, I found that about 10% of my students turned in work that they copied off the internet. It will be interesting if this author did the same thing.

    You have every right to be dismayed, and yes, this is at best sloppy, at worst, blatant stealing.
    Perhaps a better title would have been Good Publisher, Bad Publisher.

    Wow. That’s awful.
    It looks to me like even the font she used for the title of her book is a close match for yours.
    That’s too much of a coincidence. I think she’s clearly trying to rip you off.
    That sucks.
    Please keep us posted about what happens with this. I hope you and your publisher do everything you can to ensure that the “author” of the other book and her publisher get what’s coming to them.

    Hi, Bob,
    I just wrote a book about companies that refuse to hire jerks. My publisher is suggesting a very catchy title: “The No Asshole Rule.” I like it. Wonder if I could trouble you for a blurb? 😉

    Bob,
    Even if we give her the benefit of the doubt, the publisher is in serious violation both ethically and legally. Furthermore, Amazon.com shouldn’t sell this book either.

    Bob, doing a little more research, I discovered that her blog is not her own work. I’m not sure who’s work it really is, but check out these links and compare the blogs. (I recently discovered that my original blog work was copied and pasted into someone else’s blog, but they removed it once I called them on it.)

    Bob, doing a little more research, I discovered that her blog is not her own work. I’m not sure who’s work it really is, but check out these links and compare the blogs. (I recently discovered that my original blog work was copied and pasted into someone else’s blog, but they removed it once I called them on it.)

    All,
    Thanks for the supportive and intriguing comments. I am starting to feel kind of sorry for her as it seems like such a misguided move. But perhaps this is a case where the best thing is to put it out in the world and to have her come to grips with what she is done.
    Elliot, I think that books are like songs — you can’t copyright titles. But I am not looking for money or any legal action here (although my publisher may), rather I just want her to realize the folly.
    Thanks again for all the support.

    Trademarks are the only governmental provided protections for titles. If the “Good Boss, Bad Boss” mark is assigned to you by the trademark office then you can effectively have this product removed as confusing to the customer, e.g. a reasonable person would be confused that you had/had not endorsed the book with your mark.
    Otherwise, copyright provides no protections for titles of books.

    Sorry to post a 3rd comment, but I wanted to share one more thing that I found. Apparently, there’s at least one service that just sells articles for people to use as their own: http://www.contentforcoachesandconsultants.com/article-titles/
    This annoys me because the consultants who use these articles are presenting them as their original thoughts and analysis. I wouldn’t mind if they posted them as examples of ideas they agreed with as long as they had proper credits. In my opinion, consultants who buy this content and present it as their own work are seriously misleading their customers.
    I have a feeling that the more I look into this, the more annoyed I’ll be, so I’ll try to make this my last comment. 🙂

    As people have said, I don’t think there are legal grounds (based on what I have heard – which frankly is a pretty flimsy basis for judgement). But I think you stated it well when you said it was a “misguided move.”
    I think by and large we have created a culture where being ethical doesn’t have much support. All that matters is what is legal and if you are powerful enough to win. It is a shame, but the unethical behavior by for example the senior executives of all the large failed and then bailed out financial institutions. We continue to elect politicians that do the bidding of those people. As long as they are not locked up most people think their unethical behavior is just fine.

    Most modern readers are savy enough to do their own homework regarding authors. I never buy a book from Amazon without learning more about the author’s background. Even if what this woman did was unethical, I would bet that most purchasers could tell the difference between her and the incredible Bob Sutton.
    Your books speak for themselves in reviews and press. No worries about this woman. Think of it as the managerial version of fan fiction.

    Most modern readers are savy enough to do their own homework regarding authors. I never buy a book from Amazon without learning more about the author’s background. Even if what this woman did was unethical, I would bet that most purchasers could tell the difference between her and the incredible Bob Sutton.
    Your books speak for themselves in reviews and press. No worries about this woman. Think of it as the managerial version of fan fiction.

    This whole situation is sad.
    The lifting of another’s blog posts and publishing as her own are even worse offenses, in my opinion. As other’s have pointed out, nobody with any smarts is going to confuse her book with yours, even if she matches the font.
    Based on the facts so far, her actions appear to me to be a combination of brazen theft of intellectual property and a distinct lack of moral judgment.
    I notice that Dr. McGunagle’s webpage bio misspells her PhD school name. Makes me want to check that fact out as well.

    I seriously have no idea how people manage to cheat their own selves in the first place. How can they live with being dishonest to their own intellectual abilities!
    people should be groomed not to go for short cuts as it matters ofcourse to reach the destination but it also matters how you get there…..or maybe for some it does’nt 😉
    those who like to go for original will always find the true things behind all scenes…those who don’t, will enjoy the company of people who kill their moral values to get things in life
    As for Dr. Doreen McGunagle lets see what she has to say about what happened.

    Its really hard to get our arms around this. Why would a person that is tied to leadership development even think of going down this path. The risk of being caught and then perceived as someone that is willing to plagerise just doesn’t make sense. What if she sailed through the first layer and was granted the gig, and then she was in a training program and the book surfaced and a student stated, “Isn’t that Bob Sutton’s book?”
    Her position is highly visible and scrutinized. The marketplace will be your friend on this one.
    My guess is she will realize the error in her judgement and will pull it off Amazon and everywhere else quickly. Although, time will tell.

    Bewildering! I posted the comment below at Amazon:
    This is unbelievable! The author wrote the entire book with no knowledge that the same title and concept had already been used? Might as well go ahead and start a blog now called “Working Matters” (instead of Work Matters).
    I almost didnt post it because I wondered if they would start the blog I suggested!

    It’s unfortunate, but book titles are not protected by trademark law. I work for a publisher who had another publisher come out with a competing book with the same title, same basic content … And at the end of the day, there was nothing we could do.

    It’s unfortunate, but book titles are not protected by trademark law. I work for a publisher who had another publisher come out with a competing book with the same title, same basic content … And at the end of the day, there was nothing we could do.

    Lisa,
    You are almost certainly right, titles are not protected according to every lawyer I know, including my wife. But reputational risk is different, as the reactions here show. I now feel sorry for her, and am not surprised I have heard nothing. Note the book is 60 something pages long and is published by a vanity press. Still, she could have ran the title through Google. I do think that there are some cases where borrowing tiles is OK so long as the application is clearly different. Thanks.

    As an author, I can tell you that authors have none to very little control over the title of the book; only the content.
    The publisher is the entity that controls the title, not the author (which is being said in a roundabout way with the ‘title is not copyright’ meme here).
    In this case, regardless of the merits of the book, people are blaming the victim (the author). The real culprit is the publisher.
    The good news: you have a very large following with an impeccable reputation. Good thing…

    Scot,
    In general, publishers do wield a lot of control over titles — although it varies a lot, and as with many experienced authors, I have learned to fight back and insist on my titles, and have reached the point where my contracts will insist on final approval. But in this case, the title selection is a bit different as note that she published this book through Amazon’s vanity press — I have never heard of a vanity press that exerts much influence over the title. It would be nice if the author weighed in and told us her side of the story, but this is apparently not going to happen.
