Ever feel like your team keeps dropping half-finished work at your feet… then staring at you like your dog does when it wants you to throw the slobbery toy again?
If so, friend—you’re in the right episode.
In Part 3 of our Accountability in Action series, we’re digging into the real reason your team won’t take ownership… and why it’s not because they’re lazy, uninterested, or incapable. In fact, most employees simply haven’t been taught how to own their work—and leaders are often unintentionally training them not to.
In this episode, Velma Knowles breaks down:
If you’ve been carrying too much… fixing too much… or secretly doing everyone’s job “just to survive the week,” you’ll walk away from this episode lighter, clearer, and equipped.
And because leadership shouldn’t feel lonely—Velma shares a free bonus resource inside her weekly newsletter, The Leader’s Lift:
👉 The Ownership Ladder: 5 Levels to Move Your Employee from Waiting to Willing
(Only inside the newsletter!)

This episode is your invitation to break the cycle, elevate your team, and finally stop being the workplace “professional parent.”
Pull up a chair, press play, and let’s get your team owning their work like pros.
