QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life by John G. Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
My company used to have a book club in which the entire staff participated. Prior to my becoming a full time employee with the company and being included in this activity, they read “QBQ!” The book continues to be referenced by executive management and our Account Service Department is reading the book together. Well, I couldn’t be left out, so I had to buy it and read it for myself. 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. I take away an even greater depth to some of the basics I’ve already embraced and something I can share as I coach my team at work. No, I can’t change them, but I can share this book. Favorites for me: you always have a choice (I’ve been saying this for years.) Stress is a choice. Think in “I” terms not them. Do not adopt victim mentality. It’s energizing to read a book and flip your thinking.
Katie, I’m honoed. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed QBQ! I love it to. Heck, I wrote it!
Please keep on your learning journey – and take care. John G. Miller
But that was back when they refused to buy copies for all of us and I had to try to follow along on a photo copy of a book. It was crap! I never did end up getting to read it. You just can’t be asked to read a book on copier paper.
