Level 1 — No ownership responsibility. Learning and being actively developed by others
Level 2 — Fully owns an area, channel, or discipline. Accountable for deliverables in that area.
Level 3 — Consistent record of very strong ownership for their area. Accountable for results in that area.
Level 4 — Exhibits ownership across the team, as it relates to the impact of their area. Accountable for executing on their area’s strategy.
Level 5 — Fully responsible for all aspects of their area. This person is rare. This takes an exceptional level of dedication to the craft and is a big jump from Level 4. Very few companies will have someone at this skill level.

Wow, such a great (and productive) way to think about ownership within a team/workplace – and growth. Thank you so much for sharing this!
