QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability at Work and in Life

Product Information

So, when a "situation" arises, instead of trying to dodge blame or find an excuse, pose a question like "What can I do to help? John Miller tackles a big subject, personal accountability, with a surprisingly simple premise: The questions we ask ourselves, “why is this happening again? The book continues to be referenced by executive management and our Account Service Department is reading the book together.

Rather, the real solutions are found when each of us recognizes the value of our own accountability. Instead it is better to identify what are the strengths and weaknesses of all the team members and help they play to their strengths while developing their weaknesses.i admit that i have been sucked into this, and am going to try to change my attitude and position after reading this. I think this book was informational in some ways and in others not so much because in some chapters he had really good points and explanations to back it up and in others there was not good evidence supporting his ideas and points. This book just read like a branding and marketing of ideas and concepts that are in lots of other books.

It was filled with so much trite nonsensical "just be better" self-help cliches that I almost couldn't finish it. His easy-to-grasp theory is fairly one-dimensional and in the banquet of self-help books, it is more of an appetizer than an entrée. The Question Behind the Question and Flipping the Switch: Five Keys to Success at Work and in Life .I learned a few of the principles in this book though my own failings earlier in life (okay, within the last 12 years) and truly believe in the power of personal accountability. Take an afternoon and read this short and focused book on personal accountability and you will start looking at “problems” as opportunities for improvement.

If you have a positive/calm attitude and the mindset of someone who can only control yourself and wants to do everything possible to be a positive force and contribution to your environment, it doesn't matter what word you use to start your sentences with. I don’t really enjoy this style of book writing where there is short stories, but it depends on what you like.Our need for ritual is primordial, and embracing its logic can help us connect, find meaning and discover who we are. Miller provides a number of business-world examples that illustrate the usefulness of QBQ questions.
