Why Your Team Doesn't Take Ownership (And What Causes It)

Why Your Team Doesn't Take Ownership (And What Causes It)

Most service business owners have said some version ofthis: I've got good people, they work hard, but nothing moves unless I push it.

It's easy to read that as a people problem. Usually itisn't. A team that has stopped taking ownership has almost always been taught to stop, by the way the business is run.

In this episode, Rich breaks down what ownership actuallyis, the four things that quietly kill it, and what genuinely starts to change it.

In this episode, Rich covers:

• The difference between compliance and ownership, andthe simple test that tells them apart

• Why accountability without authority guarantees peoplewill check everything with you first

• How rescuing your team teaches them to hold on lesstightly

• Why shared accountability usually means nobody owns it

• What to do the next time someone makes a call you wouldnot have made

• The Reflection Question of the Week

This is episode two in The Leadership Ceiling series,for service business owners who want a team that brings them positions, not questions.
