How to change "Boss will catch you" mindset?

I manage around 70 people in very high level. There are managers who stands the floor to get the actual work done. I just go on daily meetings, just once in a day to understand where a job stands and give them directions.

When I walk around floors, recently, I started hearing "do that way, steve will catch you." I think this statements are not healthy. So my team is working properly just because I catch them in review calls. This isnt correct, right?

I am sure I listen to them when they say things sensible. I made sure I never run beurocratic team management. Is this is normal? How can I put the "I too own the product" mindset in my team just not because team is performing that their boss asked them to do.
