Publisher's summary

In his best-selling book QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, John G. Miller revealed how personal accountability helps to create opportunity, overcome obstacles, and achieve goals by eliminating blame, complaining, and procrastination. The result? Stronger organizations, more dynamic teams, and healthier relationships. Now Miller takes listeners to the next level to show how they can use the power of the QBQ! and personal accountability every day. When a light switch is flipped the flow of energy that is released reaches the lightbulb in an instant, bringing it to life. Similarly, asking the right kind of question - a QBQ - is the first step to empowering what Miller calls the Advantage Principles - five essential practices that will lead to a richer experience in every aspect of life:

  • LEARNING: live an engaged and energized life through positive personal growth and change
  • OWNERSHIP: attain goals by becoming a solution-oriented person who solves problems
  • CREATIVITY: find new ways to achieve by succeeding "within the box"
  • SERVICE: build a legacy by helping others succeed
  • TRUST: develop deep and rewarding relationships with compelling real-life stories and keen insights

Miller demonstrates how anyone can find success and satisfaction by "flipping the switch".

One of those you absolutely need

Flipping the switch is a companion book to the QBQ book by John G. Miller. it reiterates the thoughts you need to ingrain into your brain in order to be effective in your career.
there have been many books that sound the same but they are not. John addresses some hard concepts that absolutely change how you work with your colleagues.
I also love that all of his books are an easy read, not hard to get through. just don't rush it, take the time to really absorb the teaching.

Easygoing

Easy listening as expected, but not quite as good as QBQ. A lot of repeat from QBQ, which would have been fine, but I was hoping for some more new information.

Even more of a MUST READ!!!!!

This book is amazing, I had my team read QBQ and FLIPPING THE SWITCH, they all look at everything different and take accountability for themselves. No excuses anymore just pure accountability.

Fantastic continuation of QBQ

Great way to put QBQ into action! As I listened, I thought about people I know that should listen to this. No, really, I did see myself in some of the examples given, and I know I can act/do much better.

Amazing Book with Thoughtful Life Changing Ideas!

READ THIS BOOK- This book will change how you "handle" life's ups and downs because it changes your underlying attitude and outlook toward any situation.

By asking the "correct" questions your entire perspective can change, which will affect not only your attitude and response, but also the people that are around you. It will build comradery and trust within a workplace as well as at home once you start to change the way you view situations and opportunities.

Great book that you don't want to miss!
