When coaching a team to run on the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®), I love showing them how to actually solve their issues. At EOS, we say issues are problems, challenges, obstacles, opportunities, and new ideas worth your attention. Issues can be anything – good or bad – that your team may need to resolve. As part of the Level 10 Meeting™ agenda, leaders Identify, Discuss, and Solve (IDS™) business issues for the majority of the meeting. Below I’ll break down the four steps to solving issues forever.
At the end of the day, I see how clearing the air can bring a team closer. By being open and honest with each other, we build trust. And when we trust each other, we can gain real Traction®.
When you really need to get things done and, there is no substitute for meeting face-to-face and solving issues together as a team.
If you want to achieve your company’s vision, make sure you’re surrounded by leaders and managers committed to solving issues.
