Good concepts but they weren't additive for me and the framework involves a lot of lists and levels of competence, which are organized into single-letter variables and exponents. It would be a useful system to follow, but seemed too complex for someone who already has systems of their own. There were some useful reminders about how to create real change through clear measures of success and by addressing the root cultural and belief systems.

There are some great examples and really good principles, but there is also A LOT of repetition. This audiobook could have been 5.25 hours instead of 7.5 (or 175 pages instead of 250 for the print edition).

The audiobook came with a great PDF that bridged the gap between the audiobook and the print edition. That was great feature and made the audiobook edition a reasonable choice for me.

I was reading the Oz Principle, a modern business book. The Oz Principle kept having quotes from The Wizard of Oz that were very interesting. Finally I said, why am I reading this. I'll go read the original. I did, and it was so enjoyable that I finished it less than a week.

Then I went back to finish "The Oz Principle" because I wanted to return the borrowed book in a reasonable time. I finished it, but there wasn't much joy in reading it. I decided that reading classics will probably teach me more than the latest business books.… (altro)

Basic premise: don't be a victim but take hold of your situation and ask what you can do to improve it. I'm not sure the book adds a whole lot of detail beyond that simple statement, but it pretends to. Lots of vague examples of companies and business people who were sinking then choose to stop complaining and start fixing and "voila!" their business turned around. Each section begins with a quote from [a:Frank L. Baum|3242|L. Frank Baum|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1383720421p2/3242.jpg]'s book [b:The Wizard of Oz|762677|The Wizard of Oz (Great Illustrated Classics)|Deidre S. Laiken|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387746123s/762677.jpg|14816545] to illustrate that just like Dorothy, The Scarecrow, the Tinman, and The Lion, you have what you need inside you to solve your problems. You don't need a wizard to change your circumstances, just a Good Witch like Glinda perhaps to guide you on your way. A bit gimmicky, because they don't really borrow too much from the classic story, but it got me to read the book, so I guess it works (as a gimmick).

All the examples are very business-world, not so identifiable for me.
