Spent this Wednesday morning talking about people that we know who are inside of their work (and have total ownership of it) as well as describing individuals we don’t know whose life work shows their ownership over their work. The list of characteristics is here:

Time invested
People want to be around them
Their work helps other people
They’ve made changes/adjustments; they know how to do things
Know everything about it; confident in their work
Constantly revising
They are recognized

Student Work:
