1. Shared ownership of results:
Teamship replaces “that’s not my role” with shared responsibility for outcomes. When teams co-own success and failure, silos collapse and alignment becomes continuous, even when there are tough times and challenges.

7. Belonging through contribution:
True belonging is created when every person has a voice in shaping the future and feels responsible for the success of others.
