Why You Should Run Your Business on EOS (Or Not)

This week, in episode 212, Shawn Busse, Paul Downs, and Laura Zander call on their own experiences to assess whether the EOS operating system—as explained in Gino Wickman’s book Traction—lives up to its promise of freeing owners from frustration, helping them put the right people in the right seats, and generating all of the scale they want. Laura hired an implementer to install EOS in her business years ago. Paul took more of a do-it-yourself approach, picking and choosing from the book’s suggestions. And while Shawn hasn’t tried EOS in his own business, he has seen how it works in lots of client businesses. As a result, all three have strong opinions about what types of owners and what types of businesses are likely to do best with EOS. Laura, for example, tells us: “I think it's helpful for people like me 10 years ago, who just don't know what they're doing.”
