QBQ!
The Question Behind the Question, already a phenomenon in its
self-published edition, addresses the most important issue in business and
society today: personal accountability.
The lack of personal
accountability has resulted in an epidemic of blame, complaining, and
procrastination.
No organization-or individual-can achieve goals, compete
in the marketplace, fulfill a vision, or develop people and teams without
personal accountability.
The solution involves an entirely new
approach.
We can no longer ask, "Who dropped the ball?" "Why can't they do
their work properly?" or "Why do we have to go through all these changes?"
Instead, every individual has to ask the question behind the question:
"How can I improve this situation?" "What can I contribute?" or "How can I
make a difference?"
Succinct, insightful, and practical, QBQ!
The Question Behind the Question provides a method for putting
personal accountability into daily action, which can bring astonishing
results: problems get solved, barriers come down, service improves,
teamwork grows, and people adapt to change.
