About this deal

There's not a chance we'll reach our full potential until we stop blaming each other and start practicing personal accountability. 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. OF COURSE I agree that the only person you can change is yourself - and that is why personal accountability is so important because you can't change others, BUT if I don't have a fundamental understanding of WHY my company chose to do X or WHY my company hasn't implemented Y ----- then I probably don't have a very good idea of my employer's vision, direction, goal, target outcome, etc.

Just think what can happen when we eliminate Blame, Victim Thinking, and Procrastination from our families! i admit that i have been sucked into this, and am going to try to change my attitude and position after reading this. 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?You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Designed to enhance personal study, and/or be a springboard for discussion in a book-study group, The QBQ!

So many people waste their time and energy complaining about what everyone else is doing wrong, instead of looking within themselves on how they can make a situation better. Yet, if you want a quick bite of applicable self-improvement advice and don't mind a bit of a scolding, we recommend this tasty treat. has worked with hundreds of Fortune 500 and other companies and governmental and non-government organizations internationally. This book just read like a branding and marketing of ideas and concepts that are in lots of other books. The "ducking responsibility" questions make us a subservient, while the action-oriented questions put us in control.has worked with handredsd of Fortune 500 and other companies, governmental and non-government organizations around the world. Learning, Ownership, Creativity, Service, and Trust are the five Advantage Principles needed to gain the edge in every area of life.

There is nothing, not even an anecdote, that shows anyone applying the QBQ principle and having their life or business improve.

Also when working on a big project with other people/ teams " What can I do" is only a very small part of the equation.
