Summary
I can't expect employees to think like owners because they are not owners. People operate based on how they're paid, how they're measured, and how they're managed. Instead of trying to change their mindset, I need to build the right structure, set clear expectations, and enforce consistent standards. That's how execution improves, not by expecting employees to think like me. Show Notes: [07:47]#1 Incentives do not match ownership. [11:52]#2 Authority does not match responsibility. [15:35]#3 Systems train compliance, not ownership. [22:16]Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent. It is a standard. If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem. They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
