Make sure the job you get doesn't include these signs!November 30, 2008 `The Three Signs of a Miserable Job' tells the intriguing fable of Brian Bailey. Brian is a successful manager and CEO, without a college degree, who converts his miserable employees into happy ones. We follow his struggles and highs and learn how humanity can lead to great business success.
Anyone who can relate to being miserably employed will benefit from the inspired solutions within this book. Patrick M. Lencioni shares his approach to making work rewarding and meaningful. Irrelevance, immeasurability, and anonymity are the three key characteristics of a miserable job and Lencioni gives us the key to turning things around.
He inspires us to actually want to get out of bed and head to work in the morning! For anyone stuck in a miserable workplace with no hope we learn that there is hope, that happy workplaces exist and just how to recognize them.
This is a useful read for both managers seeking to make their employees jobs more fulfilling and job seekers looking to recognize the kind of work place they should be seeking out.

Enjoyed Three SignsSeptember 22, 2008 I really enjoyed reading The Three Signs of A Miserable Job and it helped put a lot of things in focus that you might not realize are critical to success as a leader. I felt it was so valuable that I purchased two more copies and shared them with my management team.
Being a manager takes more than signing letters & receiving fat checks...September 14, 2008 I was wondering whether most managers (especially those who have "a job for life") would follow your advice. Indeed, being in that position takes more than signing letters and receiving fat checks every month. I have been reading your books over and over again. Thank you Mr Lencioni for enlightening my mind!
