Description
The Truth About Employee Engagement was originally published as The Three Signs of a Miserable Job.
A bestselling author and business guru tells how to improve job satisfaction and performance.
In his sixth fable, bestselling author Patrick Lencioni tackles a topic that almost everyone can relate to: job misery. 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 miserableβirrelevance, immeasurability, and anonymityβand gives managers and their employees the keys to make any job more engaging.
As with all of Lencioniβs 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 root causes of job misery and how they can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job engagement within organizationsβincreased productivity, greater retention, and competitive advantageβand offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations.
Patrick Lencioni is President of The Table Group, a management consulting firm specialising in executive team development and organisational health. As a consultant and keynote speaker, he has worked with thousands of senior executives and executive teams in organisations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to high-tech startups to universities and nonprofits. His clients include AT&T, Direct TV, JCPenney, Microsoft, NestlΓ©, Northwestern Mutual, Southwest Airlines and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
