What does it mean to truly own your actions and decisions? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the concept of extreme ownership, inspired by the book of the same name. They discuss how taking responsibility for one's actions and behaviours can be transformative in recovery. Through a mix of personal anecdotes and broader reflections, the episode emphasises the importance of not tolerating poor performance or unacceptable behaviour, whether in oneself or others.
Wes and Austin explore the delicate balance between being forgiving and maintaining high standards. They highlight how lowering the bar can lead to mediocrity becoming the norm, and they encourage listeners to fight for excellence in their recovery journey. The conversation also touches on leadership challenges, where leaders might struggle with setting clear expectations and having difficult conversations when standards aren't met.
Listeners are invited to reflect on their own lives, considering areas where they might be lenient or lacking grit. From eating habits to media consumption, Wes shares candidly about his personal struggles with ownership and self-control. The episode is a call to action for everyone to step up, hold themselves accountable, and strive for growth. Are you ready to take ownership of your recovery journey? Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that might just inspire you to raise your standards.
