 Creating value at work: think
like an owner.

Start thinking like the owner.

You are not just an employee. You are someone who is dedicated to
increasing the value and
effectiveness of the company and delighting
customers by creating more value for them in every way possible. Don’t
think of yourself as someone who has jobs and tasks to do. If you are
somewhere, make it worth your while.
Think like you own the company.
What could be done better?

What’s the mission of the company?

What are the pain points?

Maybe it’s as simple as cleaning windows or clearing out the fridge.

Not only does an ownership mentality makes you a better and more
invested employee—you are also more likely to positively influence
everyone around you. If you started thinking like an owners, you'll be
self-motivated to grow in your company, and produce high-quality work
every day

changes you would like to bring if you have
