  <description><![CDATA[  A decade ago, <em>The Oz Principle</em> took the business world by storm. At its root, the   principle works like this: Like Dorothy and the gang in <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>, most   businesspeople have the tools to succeed, but when things go wrong they blame   circumstance or others instead of looking within for the true cause of unsatisfactory   results. Once individuals learn to accept responsibility, they can use the Oz Principle to   become better leaders.  <p>  Now, with corporate scandals in the headlines and the culture of victimization running   rampant at every level of the business world, Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig   Hickman return with a new edition of <em>The Oz Principle</em>.

At its root, the   principle works like this: Like Dorothy and the gang in <em>The Wizard of Oz</em>, most   businesspeople have the tools to succeed, but when things go wrong they blame   circumstance or others instead of looking within for the true cause of unsatisfactory   results. Once individuals learn to accept responsibility, they can use the Oz Principle to   become better leaders.  <p>  Now, with corporate scandals in the headlines and the culture of victimization running   rampant at every level of the business world, Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig   Hickman return with a new edition of <em>The Oz Principle</em>. Fully revised, this   edition will update the statistics, concepts, and relevant companies through fresh, timely   anecdotes and stories.</p>]]>
