As a business owner or leader, few things are more frustrating than feeling stuck in a rut – expending effort but seeing no results. You’ve tried implementing ideas from books, hiring consultants, and even changing strategies, but your company still can’t gain traction. It’s an all-too-common frustration that leaves you wondering, “Is it me? Is it the team? Why is nothing working?”
The reasons behind this struggle are often simple, however, the solution often requires hard work. But hey, we didn’t expect this whole entrepreneur thing to be easy, did we?
You can get unstuck and unlock your team’s full potential by addressing the root causes, documenting core processes, and using the right tools – including an EOS implementer!
Common Roadblocks
Even the most talented teams can find themselves stuck in a vicious cycle of stagnation when facing certain systemic issues within their operations. At the core, these roadblocks tend to stem from a lack of organizational clarity, accountability, alignment, and consistent execution of processes.
More specifically, leadership teams get derailed by issues, and despite everyone’s best efforts, the company can’t seem to get traction and make meaningful progress. Some of the most common roadblocks to real traction include:
- Lack of accountability and follow-through on priorities
- Misalignment and poor communication between departments
- Lack of processes for issue resolution and continuous improvement
- Insufficient performance metrics to measure what matters
- Diffused focus and energy on too many initiatives
The good news is that with EOS, you’ll have the processes, tools and disciplines to transform frustration into consistent execution and measurable gains.
The EOS Model: A Proven Solution
The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) provides comprehensive tools that offer solutions to these common business frustrations. With the proper support and implementation, these tools help leadership teams create strategies and processes that move the business forward. Some of the tools and how they help include:
The Accountability Chart – This tool clarifies roles, responsibilities, and relationships within your organization. It allows clarity over who is truly accountable.
Rocks – Leadership team members define 3-7 quarterly priorities (“Rocks”) critical to driving the business forward. This brings focus on the things that are crucial for the business’s success.
IDS – This process instills consistency around resolving issues in weekly meetings. By following the “who, who, one” rule, there is a clear process on how leadership teams can resolve issues with impartiality and efficiency.
Scorecard/Measurables – The EOS scorecard helps you define the key measurables that indicate whether or not your business is doing well or needs some intervention. With everyone on the team responsible for a metric, everyone has a pulse on business operations and feels like they contribute to the team’s success.
The Level 10 Meeting Agenda – This structured agenda ensures that every meeting is productive. They start and end at the same time, have the right people in them, and issues are prioritized that really drive the business.
These tools bring organizations accountability, cohesion, data-driven focus, and consistent issue resolution. What was once slowed progress and frustration becomes a healthy team and successful business.
A Real EOS Success Story
I have a client who was doing well, and while they were growing, their profitability had stalled. It wasn’t until they intentionally focused on truly implementing the EOS tools that things changed.
They became clear on accountability, got the right people into the right seats, documented and followed their processes, and followed the IDS process to solve issues at the root.
After all their hard work this past year, they continued to grow their top-line revenue and their profitability grew by 115%!
