EOS before there was EOS

Ed Callahan

In this short video, Steve Jobs talks about managing people at Apple. I am pleased to see him espouse the same principles we talk about when implementing EOS with companies. I should not be surprised at this since we always tell all our clients that EOS is based on timeless management principles; they have been around for 100 years and they will be around for 1,000 more.

Among the principles mentioned are organizational clarity around responsibility and authority, trust in your peers that their work will be done, and weekly leadership team meetings.
