The Employee Ownership Mindset

On this episode of What The Tech, host and FIT’s VP of Client Partnerships Becky Cross talks with CEO Adam Tubbs about what responsibility and real ownership look like in an ESOP. You’ll hear Adam talk about how ownership shows up when goals and accountability cascade through department-level VTOs (Vision Traction Organizer within EOS), empowering teams with measurable outcomes tied to company goals, continuous improvement, and peer recognition aligned to the core value “own it.” He explains his leadership shift toward making decisions in the best interest of all employee-shareholders and advises leaders to build trust, avoid micromanagement, and provide clear priorities and measurables so employees know if they’re “winning.” For organizations considering an ESOP, he stresses the hardest truth is the need for transparency, clarity of vision, and connection across all levels.
