In today’s fast-paced and competitive business world, it’s more important than ever for leaders to take ownership of their success. But what does that really mean? On this episode of the ABQ Business Podcast with host Jason Rigby, we explore the concept of extreme ownership and how it can transform the way we lead our teams and drive success in our businesses.

What is Extreme Ownership?

At its core, extreme ownership is about taking complete responsibility for our actions and outcomes. It means owning our mistakes, learning from them, and taking the necessary steps to improve and move forward. Extreme ownership requires a mindset shift, from blaming external factors for our failures to taking personal accountability for our results.

How Does Extreme Ownership Benefit Leaders?

Extreme ownership has the power to transform the way we lead our teams and drive success in our businesses. When leaders take ownership of their actions and outcomes, they inspire their teams to do the same. This creates a culture of accountability and responsibility, where team members are empowered to take ownership of their work and deliver outstanding results.

Leaders who embrace extreme ownership also demonstrate a level of vulnerability and transparency that builds trust with their teams. By owning their mistakes and learning from them, they show that they are human and approachable, which makes it easier for team members to approach them with their own challenges and opportunities.

How Can Leaders Practice Extreme Ownership?

To practice extreme ownership, leaders must first recognize the areas where they can take ownership and make improvements. This may involve identifying areas of weakness in their leadership style or gaps in their team’s performance. Leaders must then take action to address these areas, whether it’s through personal development, coaching, or implementing new strategies.

Another key component of extreme ownership is communication. Leaders must be clear and transparent with their teams about their expectations and the results they are striving for. They must also communicate openly and honestly about their own challenges and successes, and provide feedback and guidance to their teams along the way.

In conclusion, extreme ownership is a powerful mindset shift that can transform the way we lead our teams and drive success in our businesses. By taking complete responsibility for our actions and outcomes, we can create a culture of accountability and responsibility that empowers our teams to deliver outstanding results.
