> When doing a job—any job—one must feel that he owns it, and act as though he will remain in the job forever. He must look after his work just as conscientiously, as though it were his own business and his own money. I hear this kind of talk from managers at my workplace as well. Extreme ownership seems like the management technique du jour. I am quite sceptical of it. I'll treat the work as my own business when it is my own business and when I have a significant stake in the outcome. Otherwise, I am just a guy you pay to do a job, not a business partner and definitely not a loyal slave.
