Ownership Mindset

The Manager Track

Mark Pincus, the founder of Zynga, once said that leaders should "make everyone the CEO of something."

But that's easier said than done. So how do you go about cultivating an ownership mindset, not only for yourself, but all of your direct reports as well? I mean, is it even possible to affect how other people view their ownership of something?

In this week's episode, I wanted to highlight the importance of having an ownership mindset in leadership and explore some of the common challenges and negative consequences of a low ownership mindset within teams.

If you've ever wanted tips on how to boost your team members' autonomy and accountability to foster a more creative and independent work environment then this episode is for you!
