“I am not the owner of this company, why do I need to take ownership?" - Because if you are a person with a positive working attitude and desire to contribute, promote your ability and get positive results, get reward at work, Ownership will help you achieve these things.
 
 
Whether you are working in any roles and any positions, Ownership is very important in your career.
Are you looking to learn and show the spirit of Ownership and wonder where to start?
 
Let's start from ...
 
1. Working Environment
Ownership mindset – Thinking like an owner only appears if he or she truly cares about the company as a part of his or her life's meaning. Dedicated people will always do their best to promote the values of the company, both inside and outside of daily work.
 
2. Communicate With Your Line Manager
Proactively ask your line manager about your job details, especially how to report and result expectation.
Ask your line manager about the company’s orientation, products, business model, customers, SOPs, ... that will help you have long-term plans and choose the most optimal solution for the company.
You should also talk to your line manager if you feel something will make you worried. Both your line manager and yourself need to understand that if the problems in your work are not resolved, it will be difficult for you to fully exploit your capabilities.

3. Take Responsibility
To be a truly owner of a job, you must become the person who is most responsible for it. 
Don't be afraid to make mistakes because that is the opportunity for you to progress. Don't blame or run away because this is your job. On the contrary, admit your faults and find a solution.
 
4. Focus On Creating Values
When you prioritize your work, you can focus your energy on the things that matter.
If you know what you do to create best values, focus on those things.
 
5. Be Patience To Build Trust
Build trust with small steps, by honesty, progress, being not afraid to admit your faults.
If you are assigned a job that the company wants you to own, ask to be "authorized". Discuss to be aware of your decision making, and make sure you will get support when your need it.
 
Trust is earned - You have to work hard to gain trust from your line manager and colleagues. When you are trusted, you will be authorized to become the owner of the key work. 
 
6. Strong Mentality
Working with Ownership is not easy. It can create stress. Responsibility can worry or even frighten you. Practice coping with these emotions and turning them into strength. Find a way to tell these things and find solutions with your line manager, your colleagues or HR team.
 
7. Together, Keep Moving Forward
Remember that you and your company are both growing, don't be too strict but never step back.
