Why Managerial Ownership matters

A diagram titled Ownership Influence Continuum highlights the Managerial Ownership stage with steps: Magnify Their Success, Make It Personal, Unite Them, and Let Them Lead. Other stages are faded out.

We all know that managers are at the forefront when it comes to driving workplace culture.

Research shows that those led by compassionate managers are 78% more engaged, 80% were happier at work and, most importantly, 63% had better health outcomes.

Brad Schuck, Associate Professor and Program Director of the Human Resource and Organizational Development Program, University of Louisville, identified six behaviours displayed by compassionate leaders:

Dignity
Authenticity
Presence
Accountability
Empathy
Integrity

Do you see these behaviours exemplified across your leadership team?

How are you supporting your managers and ensuring they’re empowered to realise the potential of the people they work with?

The New Rules of Engagement study identified 12 rules to focus strategies on that will foster commitment and improve overall employee experience. The following four are mostly influenced by your managers:

Four icons with captions: a magnifying glass for Magnify Their Success, a person for Make It Personal, two linked squares for Unite Them, and three people with a star for Let Them Lead, under the heading Your Results.
  • Magnify Their Success: Celebrate wins publicly and often.
  • Make It Personal: Connect on individual goals and motivations.
  • Unite Them: Foster collaboration and belonging.
  • Let Them Lead: Give autonomy and trust in decision-making.
