Publisher's summary
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 he 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 it offers examples of how managers can use the applications in the book to deal with specific jobs and situations.

I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

The concept of strategy changed all that, paving the way for the creation of the modern corporate world. The Lords of Strategy provides listeners with a deeper understanding of the world they compete in, and a sharper eye for what works — and what doesn’t — when forging strategy.

We all long for significance, even as we fear we will never be good enough. We listen for God, but hear only voices of doubt and practicality. Listen again. There is a call that only you can answer. Clout is power and influence. It is an undeniable trait that opens doors and moves mountains. You have it, and you can use it to change the world around you. With Scripture and stories from her own life, Jenni Catron maps out the pitfalls and clear paths on the way toward discovering and unleashing your very own clout.

A MUST listen for ANY manager!
I have achieved an unheard of 75% retention rate in the F&B industry and I was just being myself. When I tried to dissect what I did that was different I came to the conclusion that it was as simple as caring about your people. THIS BOOK breaks down actionable principles to get the results I have gotten by simply caring. Truly a must read/listen for anyone that wants to succeed in business and life!

Every manager should listen to this
No matter where you are in the ladder of management, investing into the lives of your employees should be at the top of your to-do list. By investing, I mean genuinely.
This book does a wonderful job of explaining how. Please listen, and get ready to take notes!

A must read for allllllllllll!!!
This book was gifted to me in a time of my profession at In N Out Burger by a manager I helped open his store. I am soooooo passionate about service, building people up and empowering others- that at the time he gave it to me (as a gift for helping open his store) the title alone was off-putting. However years later- I realize the gifts he saw in me and became a huge compliment and inspiration for my current job and all of my current and future goals!!!! This book is absolute GOLD!!!! A TRUE GOLD MINE! Relatable, real, simple, an easy- don't want to put down, read! So we'll done!
