Connors, Roger, Tom Smith and Craig Hickman, The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability
New York, NY. Penguin Publishing Group, 2010. Print.
“The Oz Principle is an interesting take on personal accountability in the workplace. The 'Wizard of Oz' is great metaphor because, as we know, all the characters had it in themselves to succeed but used "if only I had" as an excuse throughout the movie. The book focuses on getting beyond the excuses and get to that place of personal accountability as well as personal empowerment. 'See it, own it, solve it, do it.'” - Chris Gordon, June 2015
