NOBODY WASHES A RENTAL CAR

People in an organization are either “owners” or “renters.” Owners are proud to work for the organization. They are invested in the work and feel a connection to it. Owners take responsibility, or ownership, for what needs to get done. Renters are simply working for a paycheck. They feel no long-term responsibility to the well-being of the organization.

All else being equal, the company with the highest owner to renter
ratio wins.

• What is the owner to renter ratio at your company?
• Is there a process in place at your company to separate the owners from the renters during selection and hiring?
• Can renters be converted to owners? If so, how is that done?
