QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life
John G. Miller
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 1413
Amazon.com QBQ! by John G. Miller is a motivational primer aimed at purging the
"blame, complaining, and procrastination" from the workplace.
Miller
believes that one of the hallmarks of today's business culture is a lack
of personal accountability; he prescribes the cure in this series of short
stories and personal observations drawn from his years of experience
running his organizational development firm. His main point is that
positive change begins with individuals changing themselves: "Instead of
asking, 'When will others walk their talk?' let's walk our talk first."
The result is choppy (39 chapters in 115 pages), and at times Miller's
advice boils down to truism and cliché.
Nevertheless, managers whose
workplaces demand remedial, straightforward advice should find a useful
tool here. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to the
Paperback edition.
