🌴177. Ownership isn’t a job title, it’s a choice
This one’s been simmering in my head all week—after so many convos about accountability, ownership, and what it really means to step up, whether you're running a business or just starting your career.
We talk a lot about "acting like an owner"—but what does that actually look like?
Today, I'm sharing a story I love (yes, it involves a pygmy hippo 🦛), and why the most game-changing moves in your career or business usually aren’t on your position description.
Here’s what we cover:
- The difference between ownership and accountability
- Why strategy is crucial in a world of “uneven terrain”
- How a zookeeper’s viral idea turned into millions in revenue
- The 5-step formula for spotting and acting on unassigned opportunities
- What leaders can do to encourage this mindset (hint: don’t kill the weird ideas too soon)
