Owners take responsibility, see the big picture, take initiative, and make bold commitments.

Renters do a good job—but only enough to get by.

Vandals actively work against progress.

Greg introduces the Five Unlocks and gives employee-owners shared language for initiative, trust and contribution across the whole company.
