Rendition During Books The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability
A decade ago, The Oz Principle took the business world by storm. At its root, the principle works like this: Like Dorothy and the gang in The Wizard of Oz, most businesspeople have the tools to succeed, but when things go wrong they blamecircumstance or others instead of looking within for the true cause of unsatisfactory results. Once individuals learn to accept responsibility, they can use the Oz Principle to become better leaders. Now, with corporate scandals in the headlines and the culture of victimization running rampant at every level of the business world, Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman return with a new edition of The Oz Principle. Fully revised, this
edition will update the statistics, concepts, and relevant companies through fresh, timely anecdotes and stories.

I really liked this book. The premise was strong and the examples were meaningful. I like the questions at the end of each chapter and there was clear guidance as to how to use the principles taught.This is a super long-winded way of saying hold yourself accountable. Seriously, the book boils down to this: (1) work to understand the situation as it truly is, (2) take responsibility for it, (3) ask what else can I do?, and (4) execute. The course is better because it provides specific tools to give and receive feedback, unites a team under a single objective, and provides a forum to problem solve and commit to action.The book is too generic to be useful on its own, and the Wizard of Oz
I like the basic premise of this book - don't play the blame game, keep things positive, have ownership and accountability in your life. The book feels dated and they spend a lot of time making it seem like people should put up with poor treatment because maybe they overlooked a detail or didn't get something in writing. At the end they managed to talk about managers treating employees well and how to speak effectively to your staff, but it just felt like feelings and personal opinions were not
Overall this provides good practice, that at least to personally or internally help keep from getting stuck in a negative spiral. Overall I think there is an oversimplification on the value of this being really a value for an organization by getting everyone to but into taking on these behaviors and to get all your leadership to support and adopt this methodology. Without that group adoption, you will still run into a wall because you will only be able to address yourself and take it so far.

What more can I do to rise above my situation? Have I done all I can to solve the problem? If someone else were brought in to deal with this issue, how would they approach it? Did I follow my solution plan? Do I have to adjust it? Why am I making the adjustment? Page 210 really helped me realize that I have wasted time at my current job and should have been out looking years ago. I am responsible for staying in a situation which allows others to victimize me. So where to go from here? Out as
There are two elements to consider in this book. The 1st is how to embed an accountability culture in your firm the 2nd is to consider the personal qualities that are needed to ensure results. They include Lion's courage to see, Tin Man's confidence to own, and ScareCrow's wisdom to solve. I love the analogy. I love the "above the line" dictate to describe the culture. Stories really help us understand the learning.
