    About this audiobook

    In this, his sixth and most anticipated fable, New York Times bestselling author Patrick Lencioni takes on his most universal and human topic to date: misery at work. In doing so, Lencioni presents a revolutionary yet simple model for making any job more rewarding and fulfilling.

    Lencioni tells the unforgettable story of Brian Bailey, an abruptly retired executive searching for meaning in his career and his life. Through a series of twists and turns, Brian discovers the three universal causes of anguish and frustration at work, and the keys to overcoming them. Whether he's trying to convince an investment banker that job satisfaction matters, or motivating a pizza delivery driver to be friendlier to customers, Brian is forced to confront aspects of himself and others, that make job misery a painful reality in so many organizations.

    Whether you're an executive looking to establish a cultural competitive advantage, a manager trying to engage and motivate your people, or an employee searching for fulfillment in your work, The Three Signs of a Miserable Job will provide you with immediate relief-and hope.

      This is a must read for CEOs and all managers. And 'no time to read' is an unacceptable excuse because the book can be finished in 3-5 hours. The author has used a story-telling style for the book, making the key concepts easily understood and for some parts, the book can even enlightened the CEO/manager. One particular phrase that should come across as very enlightening is: Strategy and financial reporting should take place once in a year or once in a quarter, but management takes place everyday. Guess a lot of managers didn't realise that and neglect managing people. Irrelevance, Immeasurement and Anonymity - all 3 applies to my current work situation, with irrelevance ranked number 1. My direct boss has demonstrated many times how irrelevant my work is and I always wonder why is he spending money employing someone whose responsibilities he disregard? Will I give him this book to read? I will probably give this book to the CEO of the company I am working in because certain things need to come from the CEO and very importantly, need to be communicated throughout the organization.

      This book is phenomenal. Such a simple strategy for diving a problem that is all too common in the American workplace. And I love how it's mostly in story format so it is easy to remember. Listen to this book now!

      Loved the use of the fable to illustrate his points. Listened to it (instead of reading) and I feel like the story of Brian and his post retirement lessons stuck with me better than if it were more cut and dry. Learned some good stuff here.
