Here’s how to make ownership crystal clear for your team
A client said his team "wasn't taking ownership." I showed him that ownership is impossible when nobody knows what they own.
Responsibilities were fuzzy. "Someone should handle this" became "everyone thought someone else was handling it." When things fell through, there was no clear owner to hold accountable.
You can't take ownership of what isn't clearly yours.
I built a system where every task, every project, every deliverable had one name attached. Not a team. Not a department. One person. Full visibility for everyone.
The "ownership problem" vanished overnight. People weren't avoiding responsibility. They genuinely didn't know it was theirs.
Accountability doesn't start with culture. It starts with clarity.
