There is so much time wasted trying to blame outside sources when the problem is internally. Xerox is not the only company that has faced such issue, companies like: Kmart, Polaroid, and Tyco faced the same issue. In addition, when employees of an organization are confronted of preforming poorly, they make up excuses for why they should not be responsible for the organization’s problems. If these actions are “left uncorrected in an organization, victim attitudes can erode productivity, competitiveness, morale, and trust to the point that correction becomes so difficult and expensive that the organization can never fully heal” (Connors, 6). This part of the book really emphasizes that success will always come from organization’s people that remain accountable. Many organizations suffer from the concept of victimization. These people believe that their successes and goals are prevented by others. Being accountable is much harder than accepting responsibility for one’s actions. Another main point discussed in this novel is the diagram displaying what Above The Line and Below The Line mean. Above The Line relates to when, “We find a sense of reality, ownership, commitment, solutions to problems, and determined action” (Connors, 10). Being Below The Line is when individuals

Despite the fact that MGI had come up with a good idea for business, the lack of planning, organization, leadership and control presented a key management problem. When the time came to launch the product, the three friends were the only staff of the company. This presented a big problem for Sasha, as he was expected to handle the business operations by himself. The company was not adequately organized to hire more

1. Jamie Turner and Pat Cardullo have very different assumptions and expectations for Turner’s new position and MLI as a company. This hinders their relationship and prevents effective communication. This may be contributed to a poor psychological contract, the contract was weakly established and has not been maintained throughout Turner’s time at MLI. Also, when Jamie was in the process of signing on, Cardullo implied and even made many commitments; since then he has
