Tom Smith is Co-President of Partners In Leadership, Inc and a New York Times Bestselling Author. He founded the company with his business partner, Roger Conners, over twenty years ago and is co-author of the authoritative bestselling trilogy on accountability: The Oz Principle, Journey to the Emerald City, and How Did That Happen?
From Tammy Marine, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity:
“The Oz Principle is single-handedly the most impressive leadership book I have ever read! It’s easily applied strategy embraces accountability and inspires individuals, teams and organizations to strive for the highest level of integrity! I, personally, was changed by its concept when I first read it six years ago and I cannot think of a book more consistent with the core principles of Rotary. This is a presentation not to be missed!"
From Tammy Wilson, CEO Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment & the Arts:
"Several years ago I, along with a few of my key management staff, took a training on the OZ principle. We subsequently implemented the core philosophy into our training program at Oak Grove. This training has proved to be the single most powerful tool we have implemented and is responsible for the very powerful culture change that occurred in the last several years at Oak Grove. The results pyramid, becoming familiar with how to best avoid "The Blame Game" and operating "Above the Line" have been a tremendous help. Working with disturbed youth can be taxing and challenging to say the least, the tremendous benefit those youth have received from having staff that now say "what else can we do" has not only resulted in improved teamwork and efficiency but far greater results and treatment provided to the individuals and families we serve. We are indebted to the authors of the OZ Principle, and highly recommend the book as well as the training, and want to assure you this is a Rotary Meeting you will NOT want to miss! "
