Patrick Lencioni is on a critical mission: create widespread job satisfaction in a world full of workplace misery. In this Soundview conference he uses the inspiring tale of a high-flying but deeply dissatisfied CEO who ditches the power and perks for career bliss as the manager of a pizzeria. In this unusual and inspiring story -- Lencioni convincingly demonstrates how career happiness (or misery) is the direct result of the manger-employee relationship.

Patrick Lencioni tells us about his life-long "obsession" with job misery, shatters some myths about workplace satisfaction and offers some real advice on how to turn that daily grind into daily fulfillment. He will describe the three signs of employee misery, and provide the steps that managers and employees can take to solve these problems.
