But it should.”A Strategic conversation is defined as a verbal interchange of thoughts that result in new insights on how to achieve progress towards a common goal.

Shailesh RajpalTaking responsibility for your actions is not a new notion for any of us.
The concept is one that we’ve been taught from early childhood beginning with the simplest things like admitting when we’ve made a mistake caused someone harm.
As adults, we mistakenly believe that this fundamental understanding of responsibility is static, that there’s nowhere to go once we have mastered it.

However, to truly achieve exceptional results as leaders—we must force ourselves outside of mere accountability; we have to learn what it means to take ownership.We’ve all must have heard the phrase “take ownership” tossed around in various corporate capabilities throughout your career.
If we start to take the ownership anything that seemed impossible and far-fetched will seem to be strangely possible.
