The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (and their employees) Audiobook

" I really love this book. It pretty much tells you base on the real world. "

" Believe it or not my boss is making me read it. "

" Pretty good. An easy read, like a lot of management books. Skip to the end if if you just want to read about the model. "

" Well written, a helpful perspective, simply stated for ease of application. "

" This is for managers in the workforce but I was struck by how much of it applies to motherhood and managing a home--the three things he says are important for employees would be important for children (doing chores) as well--to feel that what they are doing has some significance, a knowledge of who they are serving and the sense that they, individually are important to their managers (parents). "

" Great book, a simple style which describes perfectly the theory of improving you results at work. The book consists of a story as a novel, then the theory explained and, in the end, some case-studies. So simple but so important for our society full of managers who follow numbers and written strategies without focusing on the needs of the employees. "

" Great book- I really enjoy the story format that the author uses. "

" My friend Greg recommended this book months ago. I finally picked it up and thoroughly enjoyed. Working on a couple of my peers at work to read it too. Lots of great ideas on leadership! "

" Read this for work, a bit too light. Not a fan of fables... "

" A really well written management fable. I love fable style novels. The fable in this book is really engrossing and hits hard. I like the concept and it re-enforced the ideas in The Practicing Mind by Thomas M. Sterner. "

" This was a great book for me, as we own a business, and I am a manager. It is a book to help you be a better boss and manager, without being a straigh "self-help" book. I loved the story that was woven around the lessons for life. I passed it on to others at work. "

" Has some great points to consider when looking t your current job and if it's a fit. "

" Lencioni is a great teacher. This one is about how managers can create and sustain passion in their teams "

" Like with his other books, Lencioni makes me want to get to work. This time, I have a tangible lesson to put into play. "

" Okay now I know the problem. Seriously I have to read this as part of a training and it was pretty interesting "

" Good read for managers, department heads, etc. "

" Yes - I read a book about management. Yes - it was an easy read with simple ideas. Yes - I learned. "

" I just love Patrick Lencioni's books. They are just nice. I enjoyed reading this book, and I agree with the message given within. "

" This book was not written very well, a little underdeveloped, but it was quick and the concept, though I've never seen such a thing in action sounds plausible. A little touchy feely, but I guess that isn't a bad thing. "

" interesting perspective - not so sure why these are not implemented in real life - are we so stuck in our routine that we don't see the [small] change which would impact on our day to day life in such a big way? "

" This is a must read for any manager. The concept of making workers happy is so simple, yet rarely done in my experience. This book does a good job of giving examples to the concept. Easy weekend read. "

" This book helped me with how I thought about my team and their dependencies on one another, and on myself, for their success in the office. "

" Patrick Lencioni has again proved great insight with his provocative titled "Three Signs of a Miserable Job". This is a great work for both managers and employees and suggests methods to improve work and peformance. Lencioni's parable-style writing is easy to read and easy to understand. I liked it. "

" Excellent! Entertaining presentation of the 3 most important elements that create a pleasant, productive work environment. "

" not bad for a pop business book - reminds us of reasons jobs can be validating; not sure how immediate these changes can be applied in my current situation... "

" Although named "A Fable" this is an in dept analysis of management problems along with their solutions. A "must read" book for every manager and leader. "

" I tried to get as many people I worked with at my last job to read this book. "

" One of the best books I have ever read. I give every new manager a copy of this and tell them "it isn't easy, but if you can follow the three principles in this book...you will be successful!" "

" I loved this book and how its principles can be applied in all aspects of life "

" OK - the philosophy was quite touchy-feely, but useful I think. "

" I thought this book was, although simplistic, very thought provoking. I have taken a few things I learned and have discussed them with my assistant manager and plan to discuss with the rest of the staff. "

" I LOVE Lencioni's books, and this is as simplistic and important as any of his other books. A great tool to keep in my "new manager's" toolbox! "

" Usually you think of management training books as BORING...however, this is delightfully written and very easy to read as it is told as a story and incorporates the ideas of management the author wants to share. Would definitely recommend it. Read it in like 8 hours. "
