The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability is a book that teaches people how to succeed in business. Written by three authors - Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman, the book took the business world by storm at the time of its publication, in the year 1994. The main message that The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability spreads is that professionals in an organization have to take personal ownership of their minor targets, and accept the responsibility of improving and consistently maintaining their personal performance. The book discusses the story of Dorothy and the gang from The Wizard of Oz, in order to spread its core ideas. It mainly aims at wiping out the practice of shifting the blame, as people often try and shift the blame on others, instead of accepting their own lack of knowledge. The book also focuses on the fact that when people learn to take ownership for their performance, they are more likely to succeed in their efforts. This is a definitive guide on workplace accountability. Roger Connors is the co-founder of Partners In Leadership, Inc.
