I just read a book entitles, “ The Three Signs of a Miserable Job” by Patrick Lencioni. I liked it because it covers comprehensively about all the factors that can lead to job related miseries or boredom and how to eradicate them. So I thought to share the findings of a good book with all of you.
The book’s emphasize is about the functional view of a manager’s job. According to the writer, the basic source of job misery and the probable prevention from that misery lies in the power of the individual, the manager!
A substantial part of the staff’s efforts are utilized on the project in matrix organizations, therefore Lencioni wisely advised project managers to take the charge of eliminating the boredom among the staff.
The three major signs of job misery have been identified by the writer which are:
1. Inappropriateness
2. Inability to gauge one’s performance/triumph
3. and Vagueness
Let’s see how project managers can deal with these conditions.
We know that we live and grow among human beings and we have to be a sociopath. As our actions and decisions effects other human beings in one way or another. Projects are a means for generating worth through modifying, and if that alter is predictable to optimistically impact some stakeholder community, then that is amazing to feel good about.
