Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling author and business guru tells how to improve your job satisfaction and performance. In his sixth fable, bestselling author Patrick Lencioni takes on a topic that almost everyone can relate to: the causes of a miserable job. Millions of workers, even those who have carefully chosen careers based on true passions and interests, dread going to work, suffering each day as they trudge to jobs that make them cynical, weary, and frustrated. It is a simple fact of business life that any job, from investment banker to dishwasher, can become miserable. Through the story of a CEO turned pizzeria manager, Lencioni reveals the three elements that make work miserable -- irrelevance, immeasurability, and anonymity -- and gives managers and their employees the keys to make any job more fulfilling. As with all of Lencioni?s books, this one is filled with actionable advice you can put into effect immediately. In addition to the fable, the book includes a detailed model examining the three signs of job misery and how they can be remedied. It covers the benefits of managing for job fulfillment within organizations -- increased productivity, greater retention, and competitive advantage -- and offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations.

More than a decade ago, Gallup combed through its database of more than 1 million employee and manager interviews to identify the elements most important in sustaining workplace excellence. These elements were revealed in the international bestseller First, Break All the Rules. 12: The Elements of Great Managing is that book’s long-awaited sequel. It follows great managers as they harness employee engagement to turn around a failing call center, save a struggling hotel, improve patient care in a hospital, maintain production through power outages, and successfully face a host of other challenges in settings around the world. Gallup’s study now includes 10 million employee and manager interviews spanning 114 countries and conducted in 41 languages. In 12, Gallup weaves its latest insights with recent discoveries in the fields of neuroscience, game theory, psychology, sociology and economics. Written for managers and employees of companies large and small, 12 explains what every company needs to know about creating and sustaining employee engagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Leaders continue to struggle to earn the followership of others - a challenge they have faced for millennia. According to extensive research, the key to effective leadership lies in demonstrating the ability to achieve a worthy purpose while simultaneously helping employees to improve themselves. Lacking the capacity to demonstrate those two abilities, leaders consistently fail to engage, empower, and enable employees to contribute to their companies' success. This book addresses the importance of employee engagement - the degree to which employees feel connected to their organizations, dedicated to its purposes, and able to utilize their talents to help organizations succeed. The alarming findings of leadership research confirm that more employees currently feel negatively engaged than fully positively engaged in their relationships with leaders, managers, and supervisors. In addition to identifying the nature of engagement, we have explained why those who lead organizations are so often ineffective - and we offer suggestions throughout this book to help leaders, managers, supervisors, and those who work in Human Resource Management to create organizational relationships that build employee trust, commitment, and ownership. Readers of this book will find well-documented information incorporating the findings of management experts, practitioners, and consultants - but also new ideas that we have refined from our past research about human relationships and leadership effectiveness. Trust has often been called the most important ingredient in successful relationships. Ethics and leadership have been described as two sides of the same coin. Employee commitment is acknowledged to be the key to competitive advantage. Each of these factors is closely related to employee engagement and each enables leaders to develop relationships that build more effective organizations. Although there are no instant answers or magic wand solutions to restoring the lack of trust that enormous numbers of individuals have in organizations, leaders, and managers, we confidently proclaim to those who read this book that the information, recommendations, and observations contained herein are worthy of your close attention - and your application"--
