Are you a Visionary? Or maybe you’re a natural-born Integrator? Well, then what’s an EOS Implementer? These are the three key roles in any entrepreneurial business running on the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®). So what’s the difference between the three?
EOS Implementer
An EOS Implementer is an entrepreneurial evangelist. The people who own this role live and breathe entrepreneurship. Implementers are external parties who don’t work for the businesses they support, but who make it their life’s work to help them succeed.
The Implementer is often compared to a business coach, but they’re more than that. EOS Implementers serve a combination of functions.
- Teacher – EOS Implementers teach entrepreneurial leadership teams a set of simple, practical tools to help create context for them around the Entrepreneurial Operating System and help them get more of the right stuff done every week.
- Facilitator – An EOS Implementer serves as a mediator for the leadership team. They facilitate discussion into a common answer that can be executed. The EOS Implementer doesn’t tell business owners what to do or have the “right” answer. Business owners decide that for themselves.
- Coach – EOS Implementers also function as coaches. They serve as the third-party observer to the operation of your business. EOS Implementers help you see what you can’t from your perspective of being on the inside. An EOS Implementer will coach you, hold you accountable, and make you get more out of yourself than you thought possible.
Are You Destined to Be an EOS Implementer?
An EOS Implementer isn’t a role you choose. You can’t just wake up one morning and decide this role might be something you could be good at. To be an EOS Implementer, it has to be in your DNA.
Passion for helping entrepreneurs get more out of their businesses so they can live their ideal lives has to be the cornerstone of your identity. You don’t choose it. It chooses you.
