All Hands on Deck: 8 Essential Lesson for Building a Culture of Ownership

No one ever changes the oil in a rental car. Why? Because they don't own it. Why invest in something that you don't own? What about your staff or those you lead? Do they own their work, or are they just renting space on the organization chart? The truth is, you can't hold people "accountable" for the things that really matter. Caring, pride, loyalty, fellowship, and passion all come from a spirit of partnership that is created by a culture of ownership. Joe Tye will show you why having a culture of ownership is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. All Hands on Deck also provides a roadmap of action steps that you can take to build that culture of ownership on a foundation of value.

This presentation shares values-based recruiting and retention strategies for a “sticky” organization.
