Grasping What You Want and the Concept of Ownership

October 10, 2017 | Justin Gray | No Comments |

Do you even know what you want? When it comes to scoring the role you’re striving for in the workplace, you need to take ownership—of your obligations, your projects, your team, and most importantly, of your understanding of yourself and your goals.

Successful leaders weren’t handed the job. They made and continue to make sacrifices, seek advice, push through and own the entire process. Advancement comes through experience, perseverance and ownership in action.

In his latest article on Inc., Justin Gray discusses the true meaning of ownership, why it isn’t for the faint of heart, and how it leads to personal and professional success.
