I love stirring up conflicting feelings in people.....I have always felt an "ownership mentality" in the good jobs I've had, but I'm all too aware that that is an elusive, rare thing and it's hard to bottle. Also, so many of the people expecting us to have that mentality do little to actually encourage it. As for the litmus test, that's what they're for... you didn't "fail", you're just a good employee and happy to be one. Love your responses, keep'em coming. Dave, thanks for posting as always.

After 20 years, maybe they own ME? 2. Vivid visions I think is a secret sauce to success. Now I just need one! 3. Thanks for the litmus test. I failed. Will stay at the job and enjoy my empty feeling of ownership. 1. Now I feel like a dope for acting like I have ownership in the business. After 20 years, maybe they own ME?
