Dimensions of Co-ownership in Bridging Leadership



Co-ownership is a core concept in Bridging Leadership. But what do we mean by co-ownership?

Here are a few definitions to help us better understand co-ownership in the context of leadership:

Co-owner: A co-owner is an individual or group that shares ownership in an asset with another individual or group. The co-owner of an asset owns a percentage, though the amount may vary according to the ownership agreement.

Empathy:the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner; also : the capacity for thishttp://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/empathy
Kapwa, meaning 'togetherness', is the core construct of Filipino Psychology. Kapwa has two categories, Ibang Tao (other people) and Hindi Ibang Tao (not other people)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_psychology#Core_value_or_Kapwa_.28shared_inner_self.29
In order to analyze the different dimensions of co-ownership within a case or phenomenon, the leader or analyst may dissect the psycho-social phenomena using these lenses:
1. Ladder of co-ownership - just as there is a progression among couples from the first look> to the first date> to marriage> parenthood; there is also a Ladder of Co-ownership. Are there stakeholders in different stages of commitment?  What are these stages? The Ladder of Engagement is a similar concept.
2. Depth/lalim of commitment to what is co-owned - the level to which the co-owners are bound to the commitment of co-ownership. How deep is the commitment to the commitment? Conversely, an analyst may ask "at what level will these stakeholders back out of their commitment?" Depth of commitment may be indicated through terms like "walang paki", "napipilitan", "
ok lang" to "feel na feel", to "die-hard". Watch this video to see a deep commitment across multiple generations of leaders (click here). A personal narrative may reveal the depth of commitment. (click here)

3. Scope/sakop of co-ownership - the extension of the co-ownership mindset to more areas of adaptive work (from poverty to agriculture to peace-building) This video describes co-ownership that spans across sectors and agenda.(click here
4. Psycho-social unit of co-ownership/agency - There are often individual and collective units of ownership. Analyze the multiple sets of individuals and organizations that co-own in the system.  
5. Techniques used to induce co-ownership - What techniques or engagement mechanisms were deployed in order to cultivate co-ownership. This video shows how dialogue is a basic technique that can be deployed even in cultivating co-ownership within the family.
The following illustrative cases may be used to teach the dimensions of co-ownership.
