When was the last time you washed a rental car? If you are like most of us, you probably never washed one, and you probably know why haven’t done it! It’s not your responsibility, as it is not YOUR car; and you just don’t have that feeling of ownership.
With this in mind, what happens in your organisation when your people don’t have the feeling of ownership for what they are doing (and achieving)? There are probably some bad things happening, such as people missing deadlines and a lack of teamwork to resolve problems quickly or people simply avoiding doing what they should be doing. In fact, if you leading people at a distance, you can’t even see them not doing what they should be doing.
For today’s leaders who are often required to lead people across distances and cultures, getting your people to both take on the Feeling of Ownership and keeping that ownership is key for your leadership success. It all starts with the right mindset, a mindset of Outcomes & Ownership (Achievement Ownership).
Procedor has their own methodology to help leaders Leverage the Power of Ownership.
Mindset (Achievement & Collaboration Focused)
…a focus on outcomes and collaboration. It’s the language of achievement, and success comes faster when you get your people collaborating together and owning outcomes (achievement).
Personal Ownership (Leading Yourself)
…a leader’s influence starts with their own self awareness. The more you understand yourself, the greater the ability you have to adapt and to influence others. Charisma attracts, but character keeps them.
Enabling Ownership in Others (Influencing Others)
…getting your people to lead themselves and take ownership for their outcomes (both personal and team outcomes).
Enabling Team Ownership (Driving Team Performance)
…creating an environment where positive peer pressure and interdependence drive collaboration and team performance.
Successful leaders Leverage the Power of Ownership to get their people OWNING ACHIEVEMENT.
