This deep-dive into the revolutionary EOS method to strengthen a company’s business processes will help leaders at all companies run better businesses and live better lives.
If you own, run, or lead in a fast-moving business, you’re likely driven by passion and a desire to be free. Many leaders mistakenly believe instilling rigor and discipline for process throughout your organizations will inhibit freedom. They couldn’t be more wrong.
It’s when you’re stuck in the day-to-day, putting out fires and cleaning up messes, that passion turns to frustration. Freedom seems somewhere between elusive and impossible. The secret to getting unstuck is process.
