You've obviously written uh an outstanding book, The Octopus Organization, and it is chock full.
I mean, every chapter has a pretty significant lesson or an anti lesson.
Tell me how you came up with that.
Hmm.
You know, uh one of your anti-patterns that I I wanted to touch on is ownership.
It's something that that's been a a a big buzzword in you know, extreme ownership and you know, the idea of getting ownership.
And, you know, uh I think there's some truth to every cliche or every pattern that's become popular.
You mentioned this idea of granting artificial ownership.
So talk talk about a little bit w what that meant.
Hello, Action Catalyst listeners.
This is your Overtime with Outland.
We are talking today about episode 506 with Phil LeBrun, a former corporate VP and international CIO at McDonald's and executive leader at Amazon Web Services.
Outstanding interview.
We picked up so much and I'd really encourage you to pick up Philip Run's book as well.
It is chock full of strategy for leadership and execution inside of a business.
So let's start going with what we learned from the episode itself.
Number one, stop doing budgets with firm numbers.
Give a range.
If you budget a specific number, you feel an obligation to hit it.
Whether that means shaving off expenses you actually need not to overshoot it, or perhaps spending on things you really don't need to make sure you're using all of what you set aside.
