New Business Book Summary Available for The Wisdom of Oz

IPSWICH, Mass. - Nov. 23, 2016 - PRLog -- Improving results, setting and attaining a series of goals, and realizing visions are fundamental components of business acumen. However, achieving lasting change and success is rarely easy. In The Wisdom of Oz, Roger Connors and Tom Smith outline a series of principles built on one core tenet for success: People must discover the positive power of personal accountability in order to overcome the challenges they face and obtain the results they seek. The authors draw upon the iconic story of The Wizard of Oz to illustrate the empowering and lasting effect of personal accountability, which ultimately gives people the courage to see their reality fully, the heart to take ownership of solutions, the wisdom to overcome obstacles creatively, and the resolve to carry out a plan of action.

*Personal accountability is foundational to accomplishing goals, achieving desired results, and creating lasting change. This is true regardless of the scale of the challenge or the entity struggling.

*Personal accountability is fundamentally about rejecting Below the Line thinking--blaming others, blaming uncontrollable circumstances, ignoring or denying problems, feigning confusion, or passing responsibility to others. The blame game never improves results no matter how real the obstacles are.

*Moving Above the Line means choosing to be empowered and not limited by circumstances or blame. It is an attitude of ownership chosen by people who know that taking accountability for their thoughts and actions will help them direct their futures on their terms.

*Individuals who wish to move progressively Above the Line must take four Steps to Accountability:

1. See It. Gain the courage to see reality fully.

2. Own It. Have the heart to take ownership of solutions.

3. Solve It. Use wisdom to overcome obstacles creatively.

4. Do It. Find the resolve to carry out a plan of action.
