Key Talking Points

  • Issues- aren’t good or bad, big or small, they’re just issues not problems.
  • If you have a wheel that spins, how do you spin it faster? That is an issue and opportunity, not a problem
  • Communication issues is most common- communicate your message with who needs to know, when they need to know, and how you deliver it.
  • Long-term issues list- VTO (vison, traction, organizer). Issues that can’t be solved within 7-14 days. Too big.
  • Short-term issue list- Level 10 meeting, 90-minute meeting every week. Issues that can be solved within 7-14 days. Identity, discuss and solve. Too often people discuss the symptom of the issue instead of truly identifying it and it never gets solved. Important to find the root of the issue.
  • Right person right seat issue? Is it “follow by all” issue that requires more training? Moving to solve, captures all “to do’s” and assign to a “who” (could be 1-3 people) and review.
  • Where do issues come from? Usually start from top-down. The top person notices what’s wrong and brings it up. Bottom-up issues lists- when you slowly start implementing EOS within your business, issues can be solved within smaller segments before they reach top leadership.
  • Shared morals/shared core values= high moral in business
  • Disipline=freedom. You’ll often start solving other issues instead of focusing on 1 singular issue.
