The Truth About Employee Engagement: A Fable About Addressing the Three Root Causes of Job Misery by Patrick LencioniMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just cannot fault the books by Patrick Lencioni.
The style of a fable, the key messages around leadership and the challenge he puts out there for us all to get better is brilliant.
This book focuses on the "job misery" model of irrelevance, immeasurement (yes he uses a non-word, let's just get over it) and anonymity.
Essentially, he provides 3 themes to address to achieve powerful engagement:
- People cannot be fulfilled in their work if they are not known. All human beings need to be understood and appreciated for their unique qualities by someone in a position of authority.
Irrelevance
- Everyone needs to know that their job matters, to someone. Anyone. Without seeing a connection between the work and the satisfaction of another person or group of people, an employee simply will not find lasting fulfillment.
- Employees need to be able to gauge their progress and level of contribution for themselves. They cannot be fulfilled in their work if their success depends on the opinions or whims of another person.
Another brilliant Patrick Lencioni book.
