I can also transfer this mindset and practice to juniors. Train myself out of the job while someone takes mine. A sort of cascading leadership whilst the culture of excellence continues

This is what founders do. They need space to think about how to grow the business not worry about the nitty gritty running of the company. Having more principals and less agents will make that transition easier.

Ive learnt to instill an owners mindset.

Any organization i participate in i should take my role seriously like a founder would take their enterprise seriously.

Aim to do excellent work and not the bare minimum. Seek how i can track results and act on them. How other departments affect my work and how i affect or benefit theirs

Actively learn about my role through (books, videos, trainings) and stretch myself to improve it. No distractions and be proud of what i do.

If everyone in an organization grew into such a mindset, corporate performance would improve. Both employees and employers would be in a win-win. (Increased profits and salaries perhaps)

This is a great example of ho work should be, but seldom is. People are not incentivised enough to behave like this.
