QBQ Review

Fantastic, page turning, easy read. I sat down and read this book in a sitting. Great ideas and thought provoking questions that can absolutley change a thought process.

Ask a simple question; get a solid answer.

Author John G. Miller admonishes people to quit whining! Miller advocates personal accountability, an almost novel concept in today's litigious world of finger pointing, excuse making and not-my-fault thinking. Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?" he says to ask, "What can I do to improve my situation?" Miller calls this the "QBQ, the Question Behind the Question." When you ask such questions you become less of a victim, and put yourself more in control, empowered to improve your life and contribute to the success of your organization. Miller entertains and explains by using examples and uplifting stories culled from his personal experience. 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. 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.

Excellent book

Personal accoutability is critical to success in any role in life. This book gives several inspiring accounts. I have read through it a couple times now and believe that it is a must read for all of the black belt project managers in our training program.

Required Prework for Any Organizational Change Effort!

Any organization planning an organization-wide change effort needs to have every single one of their employees read this book. It's an amazing quick read, simple but powerful. It puts the responsibility and accountability into the hands of the individual. Once that shift is made, the change effort becomes easier and more effective. The book provides straightforward rationale and examples from the line level to the executive offices. No one should be exempt from practicing QBQ!

Eh....

It was OK, and had some good anecdotes, but over all not life-changing or awe-inspiring. After all of the plugging on Dave Ramsey's radio show, I expected more.
