Daily Leader Tip: Taking Ownership

In an environment where employees are blaming other departments, their colleagues, and even the customers there is little chance of establishing a cohesive team and healthy culture.

Everyone wastes so much energy watching their own back instead of just owning it, accepting things that went wrong, and focusing on how we move forward as a team.

There is a great book called The Oz Principle which explains the idea called “The Line”. You’re either behaving below it or above it. Where are you?

When you’re above it you accept that things don’t always go to plan and you’ll make mistakes, it’s part of the journey.

The quicker you own that and discover what you or the organisation could do better next time, the quicker you get better and move forward.

Above the line people also don’t waste valuable time complaining or criticising others, they focus their energy, resources, and thinking on the solution and moving forward, not looking back.
