As an EOS Implementer™ I work with leadership teams running their company on EOS®, a business management system. During our quarterly sessions together, we spend a high percentage of our time on solving their issues. In the EOS Model™, the Issues Component™ has two tools. The first is the Issues List and the second is IDS™.
Have your meetings become routine? Does your team look to you as the source of substance for the agenda? If so, consider some questions to better serve yourself and your company.
The only business that doesn’t have issues is one that has already gone out of business. Having issues doesn’t spell doom for a company, but how a leader addresses them (or doesn’t) could.
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.
Each of us can design our days, weeks, and months to better suit our time and talents. We must become more aware of the misused time we put on our calendars. That includes the events and projects we say “yes” to when we probably shouldn’t.
Finding a way to effectively communicate in any organization is a challenge. Failure to communicate can wreak major havoc on your company. But, just three steps will solve your communication gaps.
