The QBQ! Workbook

Description

From the bestselling author of QBQ! The Question Behind the Question comes a workbook to help you on your journey to embrace personal accountability.

Who Moved My Cheese? showed readers how to adapt to change. Fish! helped raise flagging morale. Execution guided readers to overcome the inability to get things done. QBQ!: The Question Behind the Question, now a classic bestselling guide celebrating 15 years in print, addresses the most important issue in business and society today: personal accountability. 

This brand-new workbook and study guide will take you deeper into the material, allowing you to explore and absorb how to replace blame, complaining, and procrastination with personal accountability, by asking the simple question, “What can I do better next time?” 

Instead of, “Who dropped the ball?” “Why do they keep messing up?” or “Why do we have to go through all these changes?” you will begin to ask, “How can I improve this situation?” “What can I contribute?” and “How can I make a difference?” 

The perfect companion to QBQ! and a powerful tool for individuals, teams, and organizations, this deceptively simple workbook presents a bold new way to solve problems, improve teamwork, increase productivity, and pave the way for extraordinary success.John G.

In a nutshell, the QBQ® is a tool that helps each individual ask better questions so that he or she can practice personal accountability in all areas of life. This QBQ! Workbook was inspired by the book QBQ!® and the principles taught in it. It is our hope that you will read the QBQ! book and then work through this study guide as a means to better absorb and apply the life-changing content in QBQ! More than a fad, slogan, or catchphrase, the QBQ is a tool that can sharpen our focus, reenergize our tired routines, and lead to bold improvements in work and life.

As is written in QBQ!, learning equals change. If one has not changed, one has not truly learned. Meaningful change occurs when we think more deeply, reflect more personally, engage with content more frequently—all leading to action. Only when true, accountable personal study takes place can the ideas and methods in QBQ! leap from the page straight into our lives. It’s then that the QBQ becomes part of our daily walk. When personal accountability becomes a core and guiding value in a person’s life, great things happen!
