Have you ever gone to a team meeting where nothing gets accomplished? But what if you could change that by having the right accountability process in place?
With the Entrepreneurial Operating System or EOS, you can be sure that you leave the room fulfilled. Everybody is clear on what they need to do in their role for that week. They go do it and you quit worrying about how they're going to do it. You don't babysit them and sit on top of them, and you’re not tasking them to death.
And so, it serves a very intrapreneurial atmosphere for people who might be more comfortable as freelancers or very capable of working on their own but want to do it in a structure where there's an opportunity for growth.
Copy Chief’s Kevin Rogers and Rachel Mazza share their EOS journey and how, together, they have created a rocket-fueled business. With Kevin as the visionary and Rachel Mazza as the integrator, they have clearly defined their roles, allowing them to approach their business with clarity and accountability.
Created by Gino Wickman, the Entrepreneurial Operating System or EOS was based on his book Traction, which serves as the nucleus of this program.
The Accountability Chart
EOS focuses on function, not titles. It's not the label, but more about what it is that you're owning and what you're driving inside your businesses as they're growing and scaling.
Instead of being focused on positions and titles, it's focused on the responsibilities and success metrics. It’s about who owns what and what numbers do those people get to obsess over.
As a result, there's clarity and it gives people permission to own their seats.
As a visionary, EOS focuses on who you are as a leader and your contribution to the whole. But when the right visionary and the right integrator get together, there's a high chance you’ll be creating a rocket-fueled business.
The Level 10 Meeting
One of the great things about EOS is It's called a Level 10 Meeting because, at the end of the meeting, you rate how effective the meeting was on a scale of 1 to 10.
You always want it to be a 10. If it's below 8, you stop and figure out what would make these meetings more effective.
And so, it allows you to constantly check in and make sure you're not having unproductive meetings.
