Description
In this episode of Change Leader Insights, Jessica Crow speaks with Kerry Siggins, the CEO of StoneAge and its subsidiary, Breadware, about the ownership mindset and taking responsibility for your life and career.
Kerry Siggins is the CEO of StoneAge, an employee-owned company and manufacturer of tools and equipment for the industrial cleaning industry, as well as its subsidiary, Breadware, an Internet of Things product development company. She’s a sought-after speaker, the author of the “Ownership Mindset, a Handbook for Transforming Your Life and Leadership,” a blogger and contributor to several publications, and the host of Reflect Forward, a popular leadership podcast.
During the conversation, Jessica and Kerry discussed what it takes to cultivate the ownership mindset and how this way of thinking can help people enhance how they lead, collaborate, and innovate, and execute strategic change.
Says Kerry, “As a leader, it all starts with trust. That is where the ownership mindset starts. You are not going to create that type of thinking within your organization if you do not trust your team to make decisions and implement their ideas.”
Highlights from the conversation include:
☑️ How to use the ownership mindset at work (with examples from Kerry and what she has seen at StoneAge)
☑️ The importance of collaboratively defining a vision and strategy for the company (or change) versus it being a siloed, individual team-driven effort
☑️ Why self-care is a critical component of the ownership mindset and imperative for effective change leadership
If you want to learn more about the ownership mindset as it relates to building an adaptable, thriving, change-ready business, be sure to tune in and hear what Kerry has to say!
