New Book The Team That Loves Mondays Offers Blueprint to End Burnout and Bring Joy Back to Work
A refreshingly practical guide to transforming tired teams into energized, purpose-driven ones.
Rochester, N.Y. — March 12, 2026 — What if your team actually looked forward to Mondays? For too many workers, the Sunday Scaries are real — that creeping dread before another draining week. In The Team That Loves Mondays: How to Build a Culture of Energy, Engagement, and Extraordinary Results, leadership consultant Andrew Biernat delivers practical insights and engaging stories to help executives, front-line workers, and middle managers do their best work.
“Transforming your work environment is as easy as A-B-C. Each employee has three core motivational needs at work called The Performance Enhancing Vitamins,” says Biernat. “They Are Vitamin A - Autonomy, Vitamin B - Belonging, and Vitamin C - Competence. When team members aren’t getting these needs met, they naturally withdraw and seek opportunities where those needs can be fulfilled.”
The book covers topics such as building influence using the 10X Relationships model, how organizations can master tech adoption by fully applying the Adoption Curve, and the science behind human motivation using the Performance Enhancing Vitamins (PEVs).
True engagement doesn’t come from the size of a paycheck, but from the sense of purpose, connection, and mastery that makes work worth showing up for. When Mondays work for your team, they’ll ensure everything else works too.
“When you build a culture around strengths, relationships, leadership, and smart use of technology, Mondays stop being something to dread.”
