Three Signs of a Miserable Job:  A Fable for Managers (and their employees)
by Patrick Lencioni

Do you see yourself in any of the following scenarios:
- On Sundays you start to dread the upcoming work week.
- You don’t feel valued in your job.
- There is a high rate of turnover in the company
- Employees don’t seem to care about their work.

If so, Patrick Lencioni has a possible solution for you.  “Three Signs of a Miserable Job” is mainly written in a novel format as we follow Brian as he learns the three keys to job satisfaction.  If you think, like I did, that doing what you love is the only solution, you may be in for a surprise. Even people who do what they love or are good at, don’t necessarily love their job.
