#326 A gardener planted a tree in the wrong spot.
Manage episode 484945681 series 3557145
The mindset of ownership transforms results, as illustrated by a gardener who moved his struggling tree rather than blaming external conditions. Taking responsibility creates trust, accelerates growth, and gives us influence in both leadership and life.
• Parable of a gardener who took ownership when his tree struggled instead of blaming conditions
• "You can't lead what you won't own" - blame keeps you stuck while ownership moves you forward
• Taking responsibility doesn't mean taking guilt for everything
• Ownership creates trust because people need leaders who take responsibility, not perfection
• When you own your role in results, you gain access to valuable lessons
• Ownership gives you influence by pulling people together instead of pushing them away
• The question to consider: what's your "garden" today that needs ownership?
