Lencioni and Business Books
Patrick Lencioni. The Three Signs of a Miserable Job: A Fable for Managers (and their employees). Jossey-Bass, 2007. 272 pgs Patrick Lencioni, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team . Jossey-Bass, 2002. 227 pgs. Two books in one review? I know, shocking! But, in this case, I think it is appropriate. Patrick Lencioni is quite a successful author, publishing 8 unique books, and several spin-offs from those as well, and many of which have been best-sellers at various times. Before I get into these two books specifically, I need to say a few words about business/leadership/management books in general. There are thousands, if not more, business/leadership/management books available. Most of them promise basically the same things: fix problems at work, make you more efficient/effective/money, help your company do better, etc. There are many different ways this is approached, some more helpful than others (in my opinion), and I am not going to go into detail in either explanation or critique....
