Encourage Your Team to Think, Act Like Owners

摘要

Regardless of their positions in a company, it's natural for employees to develop a one-dimensional view of their roles. A common thought pattern is, "I sell print. Somebody else covers the rest." While an employee creates these spheres of responsibility to help focus his or her energy, it's a short-sighted approach that can stunt company growth. This is not restricted to a particular department or to certain day-to-day functions, because this type of thinking can lead to isolated employees and create feelings of detachment from the overall purpose and success of the business. Owners and managers can reverse this trend by encouraging employees to think and act like owners themselves.
