189: Why Your Team Isn’t Taking Ownership
from Grow With Purpose · host Joey Brannon
“My team just won’t take ownership.” Most owners say it as a verdict on their people. Tommy Rohrlack and Cameron Earhart push back on that diagnosis. Before you decide you hired the wrong people, or that a younger generation just doesn’t care, look at the environment those people are working in. Tommy and Cameron get into what ownership means, the culture that makes it possible, the clarity that gives it somewhere to land, and the uncomfortable possibility that the owner is the bottleneck.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL LEARN:• Why “act like an owner” is the wrong thing to ask for, and what to ask for instead.• The three things a culture needs before anyone takes a risk: safety, connection, and a sense of future.• How clear expectations turn into real accountability.• What it looks like when the owner is the bottleneck — and the first move toward fixing it.DOWNLOAD THE LEADERSHIP GUIDE: Episode 189: Why Your Team Isn’t Taking OwnershipHELP US IMPROVE THE SHOW: Take our 30 second SurveyHave a question for the show?
