Measuring ownership can be challenging, but there are several indicators that leaders can look for:
Employee Engagement High levels of employee engagement often indicate a strong sense of ownership. Engaged employees are typically more enthusiastic, committed, and willing to go the extra mile.
Accountability Employees who take ownership are more likely to hold themselves accountable for their performance. Leaders can track accountability through performance reviews, feedback sessions, and by observing how employees handle setbacks and challenges.
Innovation Ownership often leads to increased innovation as employees feel more invested in the success of the company. Leaders can measure this by the number of new ideas generated, improvements made, and creative solutions implemented.
