A bestselling author and business guru tells how to improve
your job satisfaction and performance. In his sixth fable, bestselling author Patrick Lencioni
takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the
causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those
who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and
interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they
trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and
frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any
job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become
miserable. Through the story of a CEO turned pizzeria
manager, Lencioni reveals the three elements that make work
miserable -- irrelevance, immeasurability, and anonymity --
and gives managers and their employees the keys to make any
job more fulfilling. As with all of Lencionis books, this one is filled with
actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In
addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model
examining the three signs of job misery and how they can be
remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job
fulfillment within organizations -- increased productivity,
greater retention, and competitive advantage -- and offers
examples of how managers can use the applications in the
book to deal with specific jobs and situations.
