Ownership is different than accountability. At work people who own it are part of the process whether the outcome is good or shit. They stand up first and are always integral to success. Accountability comes after the fact and is usually part of a job description. So a boss or manager can assign accountability but can’t assign ownership... The difficult part is having a mix of both within a company… Can’t have too many chefs in the kitchen; however what’s the best way to deal with a employee who wants ownership but a position isn’t open above them? Without the proper support ownership will disappear which is an absolute waste. Quick photo of one of the Starbuck rigs delivering quarry products at North East Link.
Are you talking about personal attributes or levels of job responsibility? Or both?
How true this is.
Great point

4moRising to a new position, or a higher position is not absolutely required for an employee to have ownership in my opinion. What is required is that this employee feels appreciated and respected and heard.
