The Key to Leadership Is Taking Ownership

Owners act and think differently than employees. To an owner, a business is more than a source of income. It's part of their identity. They view its success as their own.

It's the conscious development of this mindset in oneself and others--learning to "think like an owner"--that makes the difference between paycheck players and top performers.

By undertaking this dramatic shift in mentality from an employee mindset to an ownership mindset, Kerry Siggins pulled herself from the depths of substance abuse and a dead-end lifestyle to become the head of StoneAge, one of the world's leading manufacturers of industrial cleaning equipment, and a finalist for Colorado's CEO of the Year.

At StoneAge, ownership is more than a mindset. StoneAge is one of a small but rapidly increasing number of companies that have created impressive and durable growth in part through an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP) that offers employees the chance to become shareholders and encourages them to value the business as if it were their own.

Packed with practical advice, compelling research, and unforgettable stories for everyone from a first-time manager to a seasoned CEO, The Ownership Mindset is a must-read blueprint for empowering yourself and others to reach your full potential.
