As author of the sleeper hit QBQ! with a million copies in print, professional speaker John G. Miller and his daughter and co-author Kristin E. Lindeen are bringing readers the new companion title THE QBQ! WORKBOOK: A HANDS-ON TOOL FOR PRACTICING PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AT WORK AND IN LIFE (TarcherPerigee; Penguin Random House). Packed with prompts targeted for readers to integrate specific questions of personal accountability into everyday life, dozens of other down-to-earth but vital exercises invite users to explore their habits of blame in both work and life.
Questions cover: examining why the reader procrastinates and how to acknowledge it moving forward; ways we are guilty of “victim mentality” and how to shift out of it; what specific steps we can take – without changing budget – to increase productivity, just through increasing personal responsibility; and ways focusing on “changing others” is detrimental to any business, especially for those who own their own businesses. Also released with this title are Miller’s RAISING ACCOUNTABLE KIDS, about raising children to value personal responsibility, and OUTSTANDING, outlining highly specific ways to make any organization exceptional.
