This was an easy read. John Miller’s writing style is conversational and compelling and the short length makes it a single-sitting read. The Question Behind the Question (QBQ) defines what you should be asking yourself every time you get the desire to place blame, procrastinate or help the world make you feel like a victim. This book is not about taking control of your environment but rather taking personal responsibility for how you react to your environment.
How many times have you heard/thought: “It’s not my fault” or “That’s not my job”
The QBQ aids in shifting our focus to that of personal accountability. To be a true leader we must accept responsibility for decisions we make.
I strongly recommend reading this book. Especially if you aren’t in control of the decisions made at your company. It can be easy to start asking, “Why can’t we get more support from the marketing department?” or “Why can’t we lower our prices to become more competitive?” But the QBQ reminds us that if we focus our actions on things inside of our control we will increase our productivity, sales and happiness.
