The Oz Principle Test

Accountability is the philosophy of The Oz Principle.          

A thin line separates failure and success, greatness and mediocrity.

See it, Own it, Solve it, and Do it are the 4 steps to accountability.

The first step, See It, means acknowledging the problem; to Own It is to assume responsibility for the problem and the results; Solve It means to formulate solutions to remedy the situation; and, as a culminating step, Do It commands the practical application of the solutions identified.

Having a victim mentality means the perception that everyone is responsible for anything bad that happens to you and nothing is your fault.

“Below the line thinking” is verbally vocalizing a negative perception of the business/concept.

Some examples of what someone may do that is “falling below the line” are The Blame Game. Here, crippling attitudes such as Wait and See, Confusion/Tell Me What To Do, It’s Not My Job, Ignore/Deny, Finger Pointing, and Cover Your Tail are rampant.

Very accountable individuals are exempt from falling below the line?

If you choose to ignore the fact that you have fallen below the line, you are choosing to ignore the real problem and continue to achieve poor results.
