- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The oz principle, Great book to understand the path to real accountability.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The principles taught here are well founded and the authors are very good at explaining their reasons of being. The audio speech, tone and tempo helps to stay focused for many minutes.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Learning to take full accountability for your life is scary. It requires courage, heart and focused thought, but in doing so you can create your desired reality in life and work. This book beautifully teaches this concept with the beloved Wizard of Oz characters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book as a result of a training class I took entitled Achieving Accountability. The book delivers a modern perspective on an old topic. The concepts provided in this book are not necessarily new or innovative, but rather re-packaged using terminology that has been updated to the current day. The authors have done a good job of communicating the core ideas of Accountability and describing its wide berth in terms of adopting it as a core value within yourself.Overall, I would recommend this book as this is a topic that is always relevant and important to remind yourself of the different areas where accountability applies.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5With a focus on accountability and its corollary, empowerment, there’s a lot that’s good here. Connors et al. shoehorn business lessons into the framework of The Wizard of Oz pulling out lessons that are ironic when one considers Baum’s work. But although it is better to view workers as people who are endowed with the unique skills that empower them to make a difference (as a opposed to replaceable cogs without free will), the assumption of the authors is that in large corporate environments like the ones they profile in their books, the accountability of average workers can make a difference. Sure, if an executive takes responsibility, there are measurable results that matter. But are we to believe that an instructional designer or systems consultant’s actions aren’t so obscured by layers of bureaucracy that the customer/client will really be able to tell the difference?
