Synopsis

The hugely popular bestselling authors of The Oz Principle take readers to the next level of experiencing the results of personal and team accountability by revealing the sixteen accountability traits that lie at the heart of success for individuals and organizations. They also provide practical advice on how to “fix it” and get back on track for turning in the kinds of results that make careers and transform organizations.

Since it was originally published in 1994, The Oz Principle has become the worldwide bible on accountability. Now Roger Connors and Tom Smith, along with field practitioners Craig Hickman, Tracy Skousen, and Marcus Nicolls, add another important plank in The Oz Principle series.

In Fix It, the authors present the startling results of their Workplace Accountability Study—conducted over three years, involving more than forty thousand participants from organizations across the globe: the most comprehensive study on workplace accountability ever conducted.

When accountability is not working on the job, in the team or the organization as a whole, everyone is left asking how to fix it. Using never-before-published research and firsthand stories and practices from more than one hundred respected global executives, Fix It provides a practical and definitive guide that will become the troubleshooting handbook of choice, designed to assist the reader in knowing exactly how to fix it and get real results.
