If you think your brain makes you a great leader, you better check your head.
According to the Conference Board, job satisfaction in America has been on a steep and steady decline for an entire generation. The century-old research organization reported this summer that more than half of all US employees are unhappy in their jobs today--effectively an all-time low.
Recent Gallup studies not only validate that people feel worse about their work, bosses and organizations than ever before, they reveal a remarkable 71 percent of American workers are either not engaged in their jobs--or have become actively disengaged.
Clearly, all this discontent is bad for business. Gallup estimates that it's costing $300 billion in lost productivity every year.
