"This book could not be more timely. Too many employees are struggling to maintain a healthy mojo at work, and My Job Isn’t Working! will help them to recover it. The tools are introduced in an accessible and highly pragmatic style, and it felt like a shot of adrenaline to read." - Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 World’s #1 Executive Coach, #6 Most Influential Business Thinker 2017 and author of Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It and How to Get It Back if You Lose It “Powerfully portrays the widespread workplace dysfunctions that regularly cause employees (and their managers) to retreat into mindless behavior—which is reinforced by a pervasive culture of frustration, fear, and despair. This typical employee experience is the exact opposite of what organizations need for success in today’s fast-paced, highly competitive, global economy. The generous gift of this book is to supply readers with the encouragement, insights, and tools to work around dysfunctional workplaces by helping them to reboot their self-awareness, self-empowerment, and self-confidence to engage in more effective and satisfying behavior—despite the many dysfunctions that may persist in their current situation.” - Dr. Ralph H.
