Ownership isn’t a binary. It’s a scale. And if you only know how to operate at 100% or 0%, you're not owning your work—you’re either hoarding it or avoiding it. This isn’t about mindset fluff. This is about sustainability, strategy, and leadership that actually scales.

In leadership, humility is expected. Respected, even. But self-deprecation? That’s a liability disguised as likability. One keeps you grounded. The other keeps you small.
