Book Description

April 1, 2003
This is the Spanish edition of John Miller's perennial favorite: "QBQ! The Question Behind the Question"

Have you ever heard questions like these?

"Why do we have to go through all this change?" "Why don't they communicate better?" "When is someone going to train me?" "Who dropped the ball?" "When is that department going to do its job right?" "When will someone share the vision?" "Why is this happening to me?" "When will we get more tools and better systems?"

If so, QBQ! is the book for you and your organization.

In today's business culture, the lack of personal accountability is a problem that has resulted in an epidemic of blame, complaining, and procrastination. No organization - or individual - can achieve its goals, compete in the marketplace, fulfill its vision, or develop people and teams without personal accountability. The solution is an entirely new approach - characterized by new thinking and behaviors - where we no longer give lip service to teamwork, but ask, "What can I do to contribute?" and "How can I make a difference?" John G. Miller helps us make this happen. This new, hard-hitting book from the author of Personal Accountability shows us all how to become more effective and successful. Using succinct, lighthearted stories and easy-to-read chapters, Miller gives us a practical method for putting personal accountability into daily action, which can bring astonishing results: Problems get solved, internal barriers come down, service improves, teamwork grows, and people adapt to change more quickly.

In QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, John G. Miller presents a winning handbook you'll want to keep close by for situations requiring personal accountability. It's a terrific resource for anyone seeking to learn, grow, and change. Using this tool, each of us can add tremendous value to our organizations and our lives by eliminating blame, complaining, and procrastination.

This review is from: QBQ! La Pregunta Detras de la Pregunta (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
What makes this book easy and fun to read are the many stories that John Miller uses to illustrate his points.
As a company trainer, I have incorporated the QBQ! message into our Leadership training classes. It was a great addition to our training material and has been instrumental in achieving positive changes with many of our management staff. We also gave copies of the book to each of the 150 managers in our region.
Other positive changes have happened in my personal life from reading this book. I am much more proactive in getting things done and less apt to blame. In addition, my teenage son, after having read the book (with some initial prompting), seems to help out around the house with less complaining! That alone makes it worth the price of the book!
In short- this is a must-have book for any self-help library, professional or personal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific in any language!!!, August 12, 2005

This review is from: QBQ! La Pregunta Detras de la Pregunta (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
The QBQ is a relevant book for todays professionals.I have been a healthcare professional clinician and manager for over 20 years. I have led many different teams throughout those years mostly in the emergency department. How I wish the QBQ had been written when I first started. John G. Miller has hit the heart of many organizations by capturing his understanding that organizations are made of people and those people hold the organizations success in thier hands. He then encourages the readers by not dismissing the hard issues they face today, but, to instead, learn to embrace new ways of thinking that will propel them to greater success than they knew before. His practical insights have become a tool I use with all my managment teams to challenge our ways of thinking and I also use it as a tool as well as when consulting with other organziations.
One of my employees made the statement "John makes the book fun to read and hard to put down".
I have had experiances where every department seemed to fall back into a "silo" as mentioned in chapter 15 or "protective cocoon" when hard times pressed in upon us. It was one thing to fight the regulatory requirements and competitors but to be fighting each other at the same time was just exhausting. We had become what he describes as the "victim" in chapter 5. The QBQ was the "instrument of choice" to assist us in breaking down those silos by learning to ask the correct questions and confront the negatives we were allowing ourselves to feel and placing us back in charge of our destiny. My management teams love the QBQ and share it with new employees as well. I have given this book a 5 because it truly helps people and organizations move forward.
