The Oz Principle

De: Roger Connors, Tom Smith, Craig Hickman

Narrado por: Wayne Shepherd

The Oz Principle took the business world by storm. At its root, the principle works like this: Like Dorothy and the gang in The Wizard of Oz, most businesspeople have the tools to succeed, but when things go wrong they blame circumstance or others instead of looking within for the true cause of unsatisfactory results. Once individuals learn to accept responsibility, they can use the Oz Principle to become better leaders.©1998 Craig Hickman, Roger Connors, Tom Smith (P)2003 Oasis

Great to Read when you feel threatened or down

Good book, short read but gives perspective on taking action instead of becoming a Victim. Stay Awesome Rob

Very sound logic

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book to those who faces the challenge of managing and/or growing a business, teams, or focus groups. The Oz Principal, in application, is a simple, but very powerful tool.

Any additional comments?

The Oz Principle presents some very sound logic that can be applied to work and everyday life. While I found that there was no giant revelation, there certainly was an "ah-ha" moment when you dust the cobwebs off a principle that we all probably know, and start thinking about the power of it's practical application.

Great first step in career advancement

I love listening to this book on my drive to work. it gets ne prepped and thinking analytically about my upcoming work day. it also helps me on my ride home when winding down from my fast paced job. I live all the real world examples and useful lists on how to apply what I have heard.

Needed the unabridged version

It was very good but I wish I had the full version. This one was only able to highlight the major topics and didn't dig into the deeper philosophy of the topic. I can see it being of use in current businesses.

Amazing!!!

This is one of the best books I have had the pleasure of listening to. I have applied it to my business & home life with Fantastic results! I highly recommend adding this to your collection. Especially if you are a business owner or in a management position.

LOVE THIS LOVE THIS LOVE THIS... ALOT!

pretty much says it all - key to a great life and huge success in whatever is important

Good Oz

I thought the book was really good

Couldn't finish it

After listening to nearly half of this audio book, I finally had to stop. Like so many of these types of books, the author takes a simple basic truth about life and explains it over and over with far too much elaboration and repetition. This book talks about the importance of making things happen by being proactive, but it shouldn't take an entire book to explain this!

Could be said in one chapter

Although the lessons are useful and clearly good guidance for work and life outside of work, the book quickly turns into the same lesson, with the same sentence with the same analogy.
