I've recently read the latest fable from Patrick Lencioni called 'The Three Signs of a Miserable Job'
For anyone looking for a simple, action-orientated & highly focused alternative to the Gallup Q12 scholarship on Colleague Engagement - I'd recommend reading this book.
The model is very simple - Lencioni advocates that:
- Anonymity
- Irrelevance
- Immeasurement
are the three fundamental factors that drive job dissatisfaction (whether you are a CEO or cleaner).

Clearly, the story-telling style of fables don't resonate with all leaders (especially when the core message is very simplistic) - but anyone considering training interventions relating to building colleague engagement may want to, at very least, add this to the recommended pre/post training reading list.
