Seria o mesmo que capacidade de assumir o comando, tomar decisões, liderar a equipe.
| Obrigado, Marina. Penso que estão relacionadas, mas eu traduziria isso como "leadership capacity". |

Protagonismo
https://www.farmarcas.com.br/protagonismo-e-primeiro-passo-p...
É preciso assumir o protagonismo como gestor e saber lidar com as dificuldades, mas buscando sempre crescer e superar novos desafios.
Assumir o protagonismo é importante para dar o exemplo aos seus colaboradores e, acima de tudo, mudar a sua postura sobre como encarar novos desafios.

Oliveira, nas empresas o termo "Protagonismo" significa tomar a frente, agir, assumir a responsabilidade, tomar a inciativa. Por isso achei que se encaixava no seu contexto, uma vez que você não concorda com a tradução usual de "taking ownership", que geralmente se traduz com o sentido de "senso de dono". A minha primeira opção seria "senso de dono", mas busquei uma alternativa com o mesmo sentido no mundo corporativo. Boa sorte!

"Protagonismo: responsabilizar-se é assumir o controle."
| Obrigado, Andrea. Penso que seria uma boa tradução para "taking the center stage". |

proatividade
Veja a definição de "ownership" neste artigo (contexto corporativo):
"Ownership is taking the initiative to bring about positive results.
It means not waiting for others to act, and caring about the outcome as much as an owner of the company would.
It is being accountable for the results of your actions - that are the of the highest quality and delivered in a timely manner.
Taking ownership shows others that they can trust you to do the right thing."

Agora veja a definição de "proatividade" (também no contexto corporativo):
"...proatividade é assumir responsabilidade de decisões tomadas, se antever perante situações e realizar um esforço para atingir um resultado e fazer algo acontecer."

Se você quiser evitar ao máximo perder as nuances do original, você poderia dizer "proatividade responsável". =)

Taking ownership shows others that they can trust you to do the right thing.
Ownership means I have an obligation to the organization in terms of results, and that I have an obligation to act on the items that impact those results. I may have to assemble a team to help me bring about results, but ultimately, I must be accountable and own the results of my actions."- https://infotrust.com/articles/what-ownership-in-the-workpla...
