In this video, Tom Krieglstein challenges leaders to recognize the three roles they often play—owner, coach, and player—within their teams, organizations, or communities. He explains that the owner role is typically removed from day‑to‑day operations and focuses on long‑term, strategic planning. Citing Stephen Covey’s four‑quadrant framework, Krieglstein emphasizes that leaders should spend the majority of their time in the quadrant of important but not urgent work, which aligns with the owner’s responsibility for future‑oriented decisions. The message urges leaders to shift more of their effort toward the owner mindset rather than staying immersed in tactical, on‑field activities.

Chapters

Now go to your team, your organization, your community. Who's the owner, who's the coach, and who's the player? And my guess is if you are a leader of a team, organization or community and you're listening to this video, you probably play all three roles. The owner in the box is typically away from the day to day operations. They're thinking long term. Stephen Covey talked about these four quadrants of the work we do, and he said the majority of our time should be spent in the quadrant where we're focused on things that aren't urgent but are super important. That's the strategic planning that we can do for the future owners in the box. That's what they do. They focus on the future. They're not down on the field in the day to day operations.
