The three reasons for unhappiness at work

One of the best-selling authors and one of the business management experts guides you to the way to increase job satisfaction and elevate performance levels at work. Patrick Lencioni — an author of a collection of best-selling books — in his sixth story addresses a topic that touches all of us, which is the causes of suffering at work. Millions of employees dread going to work — even those who carefully chose their jobs according to their true inclinations and interests — and suffer every day as they drag their feet to jobs that make them more prone to indifference and victims of frustration and boredom. Any job can be a cause of suffering for its owner, whether they work as an investment bank manager or in dishwashing. This is one of the simplest facts in the world of business management. Through a story about a CEO who turned into a manager of a pizza restaurant, Lencioni reveals the three causes of suffering at work, which are: the individual's sense of diminishing role, lack of self-assessment, and distancing relationships among employees. Then he clarifies to managers and employees the most important ways to increase job satisfaction. As is the case in Lencioni's writings, this book is filled with advice that we can work on and implement immediately. The book, alongside the story, includes a detailed model that explores the three causes of suffering at work and how to treat them. It also discusses what management can offer to accomplish work within organizations (working to increase productivity, retain customers, and achieve competitive advantage), and presents examples of how managers use the applications in the book to face specific tasks and situations.
