In 1961, when President John F. Kennedy announced his vision to send Americans to the moon and bring them back again, and to do it within the decade. The Soviets had already started the “space race” with the launch of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin the previous month, and President Kennedy felt that the U.S. was greatly behind. America waited with great anticipation for NASA to announce their newest launches as the excitement of exploring the moon swept the nation. 

The first time President Kennedy visited NASA, he said he was impressed by the dedication of the engineers and technicians and the courage of the astronauts, but one person impressed him the most: a humble janitor.
While the janitor was mopping the floor in one of the hall- ways, the president decided to introduce himself. The janitor gleefully shook the president’s hand, honored at the opportunity to be in his presence. “What do you do here?” asked President Kennedy. The janitor smiled. “Well,” he said, “I’m helping put a man on the moon.”

When a person takes OWNERSHIP, things matter more. They become more DRIVEN and MOTIVATED, take more initiative, and seek creative and innovative ways to improve what they’re doing. 

When an employee is INVESTED in their work in this way, they no longer coast or go through the motions; they become more intentional about their time and experience, and they’re more present each day. The working environment becomes positive, productive, and uplifting— even for managers. In short, a company with employees who are given the OPPORTUNITY to TAKE OWNERSHIP is a company that is moving forward.
