Ownership Spirit: The One Grand Key that Changes Everything Else

Ownership Spirit Wins National “Best Books 2009”Award

Mesa, AZ – The best book this year for building your business, motivating your employees or dealing with challenges on a personal level is Ownership Spirit: The One Grand Key that Changes Everything Else by Dennis R Deaton.

The first place winner in the Business Motivational category for this year’s national “Best Books 2009” award competition, Ownership Spirit stood out from among what the contest organizers, USA Book News, reported as “an unprecedented number of entries.”

While Deaton is honored to have received the award, he says, at the same time, it validates book’s primary focus—how to grow stronger in the face of daunting challenges.  

“Ownership Spirit is a crucial message right now. Individuals, small businesses and corporations are struggling, and are searching for the skills they need to rise to the pinnacles of success in such turbulent times,” he says.

He explains that the answer to the economic and resulting emotional challenges many are facing today is to adopt an ownership spirit by learning to control the “one grand key that makes all the difference”—your thoughts.

“The consummate truth of life is that we alter our destiny by altering our thoughts,” teaches Deaton. “The mind is our most crucial faculty, our crowning asset, our ultimate arena of battle.”

This idea of taking personal responsibility and the principles of ownership are particularly important in the corporate world, Deaton says. A highly acclaimed corporate trainer and founder of Quma Learning, Inc., Dr. Deaton has delivered this message to thousands over the past two decades.

“For too long we have burdened leaders, managers and supervisors with the task of holding their people accountable and haven’t done enough to teach people how to hold themselves accountable,” he says. “That’s what the Ownership Spirit message is for businesses and organizations. It is the key to ardent, enthusiastic employee engagement.”

Dr. Deaton explains that as an organization adopts an Ownership Spirit mentality, “It frees managers to focus on improving important processes, while it teaches employees to own and execute their part of the process.”

“Ownership Spirit is about breaking away from the thinking patterns that hold individuals and organizations back,” writes Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. “Deaton helps people leave old habits behind and create new patterns of behavior and acting.”

Business leaders praise Dr. Deaton’s ability to help create real change in their organizations. Individuals say Ownership Spirit can yield the same powerful changes on a personal level as well.

Deaton says Ownership Spirit powerfully impacts the way every individual views opportunity amid adversity. He says, “Every day presents us with the option to cower, cope or conquer. Through Ownersip Spirit we conquer. There is literally no limit to the number of doors you will open for yourself through the principles, skills and tools you will gain from this book.”
