Ownership, Accountability and Peak Performance

Ownership, Accountability and Peak Performance: One of my first experiences in the workplace was sweeping the warehouse floor in my father's industrial supply business. I worked in the warehouse and drove the delivery truck. He was very picky about how he wanted things done, made sure I knew what he expected and would occasionally check to make sure everything was "ship shape". He had spent time in the Navy as a young man and believe me, I had a complete understanding of what "ship shape" meant.
