  • See Your way forward.

    “The lasting impact of this work around “ownership” is that, now we still see our way forward using the same language to define who we are and what we are about. Our culture statements are enduring not only because they are valuable, but because we all Own them.”

    Randy Nail + CEO Hogan Taylor

  • Spark a cultural revolution.

    “The Ownership Mindset sparked a cultural revolution across my company. We even added “Act Like an Owner” into our Leadership Competency Model that we use to hire, evaluate and develop our leaders. We use it as common language, and it helped us think more about how to drive the tenets of an owner mindset throughout the organization.”

    Cathy Manginelli + VP TriNet

    “Owners bring their heart, head, and hands. Renters bring only their hands. Vandals bring division.” That quote has been a thread that has continued throughout Elliot as we have pursued greater engagement with our 3200 employees. The platform of ownership and the simplicity of the ownership language is something we have adopted - with measurable results.”
