This is the summary of the book with the same title, The Truth About Employee Engagement: A Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery, by Patrick M. Lencioni.
The book talks about what causes miserable job and how managers can help employees to have a fulfilling job. As usual with the other fable series, this book also has two sections, the fable and the model. This post is the summary of the model section of the book.
The model
The model talks about 3 factors that cause job misery. Miserable job is different from bad one. Bad or good depends upon who you are and what you value and enjoy. A miserable job is one that you dread going to and can’t wait to leave. It's found everywhere — consulting firms, banks, schools, software companies, athletic teams and also exists at all levels from executive suite to the reception desk. And more people are miserable in their jobs than fulfilled by them.
