Lessons in Revolutionary Thinking

Guest post by Tara Browne, DTM, 2016 Conference Scholarship Winner. 

When I was awarded one of three scholarships for the 2016 Conference for Administrative Excellence, I was beyond excited. I looked forward to acquiring strategies and tools to advance my administrative career. I expected to be totally blown away by insights and techniques from thought leaders on the cutting edge of the administrative professions: new measures for peak performance; creative methodologies for problem solving; fresh perspectives for relating to those I work with every day.

What I got was all of the above…and so much more.

As speaker after speaker challenged our assumptions about administrative work, and I found myself being inspired by a profession that I had so long ago wandered into with neither purpose nor ambition. There were so many “AHA!” moments in this conference that it would be impossible to do justice to them all in a single blog post, but I’d like to share my top three with you here.

How to Embrace an Owner Mentality

Embracing the “Owner” Mentality with Special Guest, Daren Martin, PhD

In today’s competitive business world, this is perhaps the most essential hidden ingredient for exceptional career success and professional satisfaction—and it’s 100% within your control.

Be Bold Enough To Be An Owner

Ownership

Do You Have An Owner’s Mentality?

Hello from my office to yours.

Did you know that you do not have to own your own business to have an “owner’s” mentality? Did you know there are benefits to thinking like an “owner” vs. an employee? Do you know the key characteristics of owners?

“Owners are fundamentally different from employees,” says Daren Martin PhD and author of A Company of Owners. They have a psychological stake in the success of the company that drives their daily behavior. They treat the company as if it were their own. Daren goes on to say that owners . . .

  • Take losses personally.
  • Celebrate successes as if they were their own.
  • Have an enterprise mentality versus a silo mentality.
  • Owners are priceless and establish themselves as indispensable contributors.
