I have a little ritual with my clients I’d like to share with you. At the start of an annual, quarterly, or Focus Day™ session, I write GGOTO on the whiteboard at the front of the room. What the heck is GGOTO? It stands for the greater good of the organization.
During the past quarter, I kept running into a strange situation that surprised me. I had the same conversation with three leadership teams of family businesses. All three family businesses wondered if all departments should follow EOS concepts when a company runs on EOS.
Tim Vogel took a while before he even considered taking the entrepreneurial leap. Tim was eventually introduced to EOS® and began applying the concepts to his company while encouraging other entrepreneurs to do the same.
When you spend enough days in session with clients, you start to feel like you’ve seen and heard it all. These situations can feel like I’ve stepped into the big top at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, not a run-of-the-mill quarterly session. These are my confessions of a lion tamer as part of my role as an Expert EOS Implementer™.
Not every client of Spoke Marketing runs on EOS®. But they’ll still get a dose of Traction® when they engage with Spoke. Since they began their journey of running on EOS, they have become an advocate for others to do the same.
During my clients’ journeys Running on EOS™, I see many become incredibly skilled at handling their day-to-day issues. Unfortunately, some issues lurk, hidden from even the best of us. Like sharks in the water, they swim undetected and out of sight – until they bite.
