Fix It

by Jeff Cummings (reader), Tom Smith, Craig Hickman

The hugely popular bestselling authors of The Oz Principle take readers to the next level of experiencing the results of personal and team accountability by revealing the sixteen accountability traits that lie at the heart of success for individuals and organizations. They also provide practical advice on how to “fix it” and get back on track for turning in the kinds of results that make careers and transform organizations. Since it was originally published in 1994, The Oz Principle has become the worldwide bible on accountability. Now Roger Connors and Tom Smith, along with field practitioners Craig Hickman, Tracy Skousen, and Marcus Nicolls, add another important plank in The Oz Principle series. In Fix It , the authors present the startling results of their Workplace Accountability Study—conducted over three years, involving more than forty thousand participants from organizations across the the most comprehensive study on workplace accountability ever conducted. When accountability is not working on the job, in the team or the organization as a whole, everyone is left asking how to fix it. Using never-before-published research and firsthand stories and practices from more than one hundred respected global executives, Fix It provides a practical and definitive guide that will become the troubleshooting handbook of choice, designed to assist the reader in knowing exactly how to fix it and get real results.

Even though I'm a fan of the Oz guys I didn't get as much out of this book as I had hoped. As with a lot of books I didn't feel that they suggestions/advice worked in a small business setting for someone wearing a lot of hats or managing a large group. That being said there certainly were some ideas that I've been able to put into practice plus the way the book is set up you can tailor your read to the specific topic you're looking for help on.

It's not common for me to give such a low rating. It isn't the quality of the content; it is the delivery. This isn't a cover-to-cover read. It better serves as a reference tool for solutions to specific issues. At best, if you like to read a couple of pages per day across a month or so, this might be better for you. But if you like to pick up a book and immerse yourself in its contents for a week, then this one isn't for you. You'll just get frustrated with the discontinuity (even if you stick to the reading tracks offered).

5-Star: Everyone should read this.
4-Star: Everyone in this specific field should read this.
3-Star: This was a decent read for the specific field, but there are better options.
2-Star: It got me to the end of the book, so there is that.
1-Star: It was bad enough that I didn't finish it.
