When a company begins its journey to Running on EOS™, they need people like that to lead the charge. That’s why I find naming your business’s EOS champions so important.

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.
I’ve always preached to my clients to make sure they have a guarantee. Most of them just don’t like to do them. Some worry they’ll lose money or their guarantee will sound cheesy. My solution? I explain to them that, yes, you need a guarantee. And you need a solid one your entire company can stand behind.
Businesses that run on EOS® have a secret weapon for perfecting their elevator speeches: the Vision/Traction Organizer™ (V/TO)! When your business runs on EOS, you can easily use your V/TO to create your elevator speech too.
Recently I’ve discovered an interesting side effect of my clients advancing on their journey to mastering the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®). They learn to increasingly value their time and no longer tolerate anyone wasting it with long, pointless meetings. In fact, I’ve had clients harnessing the power of Level 10 Meetings (L10s) with their vendors. Frankly, that’s music to my ears.
Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners as a Certified EOS Implementer®. Some ran amazing companies, and some … not so much. I wouldn’t necessarily say the owners ran crappy companies. I mean they did, I just wouldn’t say that. But I have noticed that all great companies have five things in common.
