Purpose Driven Leaders Accelerate Ownership
Most business owners do not wake up hoping to become professional firefighters, but the day fills up with flare-ups anyway: staffing problems, culture drift, unclear expectations, hard conversations, and the familiar habit of carrying work stress all the way into the driveway. Own The Drive Home was built for leaders who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with clarity and intention. Built around the Left Lane Leadership Framework, the work starts with a simple but powerful belief: every leader has a story, and the decisions made behind the wheel shape how fast they and their team can accelerate.
Behind Own The Drive Home is Mike Elkins, who brings more than 35 years of executive leadership experience across entrepreneurial ventures, retail, sales, multi-unit operations, manufacturing, small businesses, and Fortune 500 organizations. His background includes growing a business from $10 million to more than $20 million in revenue, expanding net profit seven times over, owning a $750 million profit and loss statement, and coaching leaders across service businesses, sales organizations, government contractors, real estate, construction, and the C-suite.
The Left Lane Leadership Framework gives leaders a practical road map through three lanes: Accelerate, Navigate, and Return. Combined with executive coaching, Christian Men Executive Forums, Motivation Code assessments, servant leadership, stewardship, and extreme ownership, the approach helps leaders understand what drives their teams, where culture is misaligned, and how to build something worth being proud of. The framework is grounded in Purpose, Vision, Mission, and Values, creating clarity, alignment, and execution through ownership at every level.
What makes the work stand out is the conviction behind it. Faith is not treated like a side note. It is woven into how decisions get made, how teams are led, and how accountability is practiced when things get hard. Own The Drive Home helps business owners grow personally, professionally, and spiritually, giving them a clearer path to lead companies they are proud to serve, grow, and drive home from. Their 2026 Best of Alabama Regional Award reflects work that goes beyond better businesses. It is about clearer leaders, stronger cultures, and ownership that lasts.
