My first thought is that for
ownership, people need to have a vested interest in the
organisation. In my personal experience, this means contributing
to the organisation in a long-term way, rather than a day by day
event... For example, I don't believe that people who come to
perform in a local amateur production typically feel ownership
towards the theatre company that produced the show, although
they may feel ownership towards the individual production.
To foster ownership, I think you need to give people responsibility and reward / praise them when they are doing well. Everyone wants to be associated with something that is doing well. - Glenn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- People have to contribute and do stuff, good communication - people have to know what is going on and possibly be a part of the decision making process. - Bek ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel ownership when I have responsibility for something that only I can do. I feel like I am needed by the group and that no one else could do that job like I do. Not that someone else couldn't do the job...they just wouldn't do it like me! I am needed and therefore I belong in that spot. I have a role to play, a purpose for being there, people will miss me if I am not there. - Veronica ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think ownership comes from connectedness. if you feel connected (needed, appreciated) to what you are involved in then you feel you can give and receive ownership of that thing. - Mel ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think for someone to gain a sense of ownership in anything they need to be excited about it, then feel like they can contribute to it, and I think finely they need to know their contributions are acceptable and used in some way. - Joan ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perhaps ownership also comes from being part of a team that accomplishes a win! When this occurs each member can say "we achieved that.
