We're going through a merger and a lapse in contract at my job and a lot ,of the employees are anti management and its very much a we vs. Ask ourselves QBQ questions and we’re much more likely to take pro-active action, inspire those around us to do the same, and improve our lives. Take an afternoon and read this short and focused book on personal accountability and you will start looking at “problems” as opportunities for improvement. While I can't control the people on my team or decide whether or not they will change - if I don't include them in my big picture thinking while I decide how I can contribute - then we aren't acting as a team, we are doomed to become scattered, off track, or duplicate each other's efforts by not realizing someone else has already begun solving X and they're close to finding the solution, so I probably shouldn't start from scratch in my efforts to solve the same thing.

If you've read ANY stoic philosophy this book tries to teach you those principles through a VERY poor imitation of Patrick Lencioni's "fable" style of storytelling.Miller provides a number of business-world examples that illustrate the usefulness of QBQ questions.

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.

This book just read like a branding and marketing of ideas and concepts that are in lots of other books.

an organisational development company dedicated to making personal accountability a core value for organisations and individuals. Some managers don't capitalize on the differences of their teams and instead trying to treat everyone the same and I have found that is a horrible way to operate. With that in mind, this was a good reminder of the answer to the age old question put to anarchism: Who will take out the trash? John Miller poses a practical way to focus on what we can do to incorporate personal accountability into our everyday lives.
