Larger companies lose this when they start to hire just to fill roles that play into the revenue machine. Teams, in small startups or in large corporations, should start building a sense of ownership with employees to create strong teams that will lead them successfully into the future.

1. 3 WAYS
TO CREATE OWNERSHIP IN YOUR
COMPANY

2. • There are a very small handful of businesses that can actually boast
highly engaged employees.
• There are definitely employees who feel incredibly proud to say their
organization’s name and others who couldn’t care less
• And it shows in their performance - they leave other companies
wondering how they’ve managed to put together and motivate such
driven and connected teams
• It doesn’t matter how big or small the company is - sometimes even
startups don’t get employee team building and motivation right

3. • It’s a make or break for any company in an era where the business
environment is turbulent and your team is one of your biggest
competitive advantages
• Many companies try to engage and create cohesive teams, but they
continue to miss the mark and their efforts end up feeling forced and
ineffective
• One of the reasons small startup teams seem to have high levels of
productivity and engagement is because most of the team members
are personally invested and have a sense of ownership

4. • Larger companies lose this when they start to hire just to fill roles that
play into the revenue machines
• Teams, in small startups or in large corporations, should start building
a sense of ownership with employees to create strong teams that will
lead them successfully into the future

INTERNALLY CREATED AND
SUPPORTED PROJECTS

6. • Money and income aren’t the only reasons entrepreneurs are
invested in their projects
• It’s because they’re seeing something they’ve conceptualized and
feel would be beneficial from beginning to end
• Everyone is intrinsically motivated by this and it isn’t taken
advantage enough with teams in business
• We segregate roles and dictate work which makes people feel like
robots (who will likely soon replace them in these menial task.

7. • Allowing employees to brainstorm, propose, and receive support
for projects is a way to inspire founder-like motivation
• Logically, your team members should be in charge of new projects
• They run the day to day and know where there is room for
improvement and how to execute change better than anyone
• Having support for self-contained projects helps bond employees
– even in a large corporation – like they do in small startups

SCHEDULE UNINTERRUPTED
BLOCKS OF TIME

9. • One of the biggest sources of motivation for entrepreneurs and
founders is that they get to set their own schedule
• Many find that a conventional schedule does not work best for their
productivity and adjust accordingly
• Teams within a company are the same
• If you want them to perform optimally, allow them to determine
how to organize their time to do so

10. • Most founders actually end up working harder even with a flexible
schedule because they feel they have ownership over their work
• The hours don’t matter. Inspiring teams to work out a schedule for
themselves like this rather than watch the clock nine to five is a
boost to morale and productivity
• Introducing tools that help facilitate flexible working hours
together is key to this

SUPPORTING
SPECIALIZATION AND
DEVELOPMENT

12. • Just like founders, employees have bigger goals of fulfilling bigger
roles, and if you want a team to progress and a company to grow,
those goals should be supported
• Team members should be encouraged to decide on their own role in
projects depending on their interests and capabilities
• Over 70% of employees feel they need to leave their organization
to advance themselves

13. • Team leaders and managers should make an effort to learn more
about individuals’ goals and lend support in developing them
• If employees do not see support for their own motives and a change
to work on what they want in their teams, they will abandon yours
eventually
• If there is no room or money for promotions, offering support for
training new skills is a great way to show team members they have a
future to work towards together
