‘The Oz Principle’ concept came from a 1994 best-selling book by the authors, Roger Connors, Tom Smith, and Craig Hickman. The healthy philosophy is called the Oz Principle and it helps businesses thrive every day in the workplace. This overall philosophy ultimately helps employees achieve their top work performance goals without being stuck in the cycle of bad time management choices, low productivity and as a result, needing to blame others for not finishing their job tasks. To stop all of the excuse making and finger pointing, several businesses rely on a particular mindset of holding employees accountable for their own work flow and abilities. So what if we were supposed to supervise ourselves? Would we get everything done or simply point fingers at others for goals that we didn’t meet? The classic childhood joke “my dog ate my homework” comes to mind, right?
How would we ever get anything done without supervision? Everyone isn’t so honest and everyone does not have strong work ethic. Imagine going to work every day and being paid for tasks that we never actually complete.
Accountability isn’t just important in our personal situations but, it’s a main objective in business. Whether it’s knowing that the 15 year old babysitter is responsibly watching over your children as parents pull down the driveway on a rare date night out or if it’s knowing that a barber will not ruin a groom’s haircut on the morning of his wedding day, we can take a deep sigh of relief knowing that people and services that we trust can be held accountable for what we asked them to do. However, having accountability for our own actions is paramount in achieving success and also in maintaining a sense of calm in all facets of our lives. Yes, some things never change and some stay the same. We can remember hearing our parents tell us that as kid, can’t we? Some of us can even recall how it was often just easier to make excuses for our failures as children rather than own up and get our punishments and unfortunately, some of us occasionally still catch ourselves making these excuses now as ADULTS!
