The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual & Organizational Accountability

ISBN: 0735200432
Author: Roger Connors
Description:
Book Description How people can move beyond victimization to overcome obstacles, accept responsibility, and rise to new heights of achievement. "I didn't have enough time." "It's not in my job description." Many people and organizations have recognized the need to move away from this type of "blame game" and toward greater personal accountability at work, but few have known how to foster or maintain it--until The Oz Principle. Now in paperback, The Oz Principle explores how people in business suffer from the same feelings of anxiety and helplessness that beset the characters in The Wizard of Oz. Through a broad mix of examples and stories, this book examines how people use their victimization to justify inaction, excuse ineffectiveness, or rationalize poor performance. It shows how they can break through "above the line" with an attitude of accountability that empowers them to overcome problems, excuses and biases to achieve the results they want. Self-assessment charts and quizzes enable readers to chart their own path to personal empowerment and enhanced company performance. Working through this book is a true journey of discovery, the discovery that, just as in The Wizard of Oz, the real Wizard lives within each of us. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Synopsis Using the analogy of the Wizard of Oz, this work shows how companies can benefit from the culture of accountability, detailing the principles behind this change. It offers strategies to strip away the trappings of current management programmes and fads.
