Who do you for - chapter two

If you read my previous blog about ownership and who you work for, you might be feeling a little defensive or uncomfortable, good for you. You are learning something and realizing that you have more to offer. You have quietly been waiting. At least one to ninety nine percent of you is now crying out for you to take control of your life and stop playing the "I just work here" game. Powerful teams are built with owners. The kind of people that see work as personal and believe they are an integral part of everything. If each person in Home Depot realized that they work for themselves. That every time they help a customer, or don't help a customer it is a reflection on them personally. Home Depot would put Lowes out of business in a few months. If each person is any organization felt a deep sense of pride and connection to their work and how that "job" was an extension of their purpose. Their role is an extension of their place in the universe and their unique opportunity to bring some value to the world. In turn they would receive recognition, satisfaction and yes a paycheck. Their life would be better and the bottom line would reflect that vision.
