You don’t need another traditional five-year plan full of guesses and spreadsheets. You need the next 90 days to matter. Most entrepreneurial leaders are wired for urgency. They move fast, think big, and make things happen. But that drive can also lead to overwhelm. Too many goals, too many priorities, and too little traction. The … Read more
Every human, from your frontline tech to the CEO (or as we call it the Visionary), loses focus after about three months. Gino Wickman calls this the 90-Day World: energy peaks, drifts, and needs a reset. When you schedule an off-site each quarter, you swap drift for direction, realign around the vision, and walk out … Read more
Businesses running on EOS® operate in a 90-Day World® as part of the proven EOS Process®. As part of that 90-Day World, the leadership or department team spends one full day working on the business in a quarterly meeting. This meeting provides the team with the opportunity to evaluate performance, refocus, set priorities for the next 90 days, and resolve any issues impeding progress.
Each quarterly meeting agenda includes the same seven basic steps to properly align the team:
Business coaches teach their clients the importance of setting the right quarterly goals. Quarterly Rocks serve as the building blocks for long-term business success.
Did you know that the most important part of your annual planning session isn’t planning? If you’re like many companies, your leadership team skips the most critical component of your annual planning. And it negatively impacts your team’s creativity and goal setting for the coming year.
Business leaders of entrepreneurial companies are so hard-charging, so busy, and so overwhelmed, that they tend to see only the gaps ahead of them. These are the goals, ideals, and accomplishments they haven’t reached yet. When you’re feeling overworked from the previous year and start looking at all the gaps you have yet to cover, it can put you into the wrong frame of mind for moving forward.
Creating a “90-Day World” for the business that supports the vision and keeps leadership teams on track is critical to long-term success, yet it’s something that many organizations haven’t learned. The 90-Day World concept is based on the belief that human beings will stumble, get off track and lose focus approximately every 90 days. Business coaches and EOS Implementers™ find that it’s common for leadership teams and others to come out of a big meeting feeling accomplished and prepared to complete the next challenges at hand. They have clearly defined goals and responsibilities and have a renewed laser focus on the organization. Fast-forward to 90 days later and business owners begin to notice that the leadership team is starting to wander off track, making it difficult to get on the same page about even the smallest issues. This is a normal cycle in life and in business, but implementing the Quarterly Meeting Pulse can help overcome these challenges and get everyone back on track.
