Part of the Drive cluster of the Engineering Leadership Capabilities.
What it means
This is ownership without excuses: treating the commitment as personal, following up relentlessly, and feeling the clock. Constraints are treated as conditions to work within, not reasons to slip.
What it looks like
- Tracking open actions to closure rather than to hand-off
- Escalating early when a milestone is at risk
- Holding yourself to the schedule you asked others to hold
