Hi {{ subscriber.first_name }},

How people talk in the workplace tells you a lot about their level of ownership of results.

In my experience, 10 phrases stand out so it's useful to share them with you so you can have a feeling about their interest in owning the future of your company:

1. It’s not my problem; it’s up to someone else to take care of it.
2. Why should I contribute when others aren’t doing their part?
3. I don’t see how my actions affect the results.
4. It’s not my responsibility to make things happen. Ask someone else.
5. I did my part, so I’m not accountable for the results. Leave me alone.
6. I can’t be expected to take ownership of something that’s not directly related to my role.
7. I didn’t have a say in the decision-making process, so I don’t feel responsible for the outcome.
8. It’s not my team, so I don’t feel accountable for their performance.
9. I’m just following instructions; I don’t have control over the final outcome.
10. Why should I put in extra effort when others aren’t pulling their weight?

In a nutshell…

What people say tells you a lot about how they see the current reality.

Owning results starts from shifting perspectives and changing the narrative.
