Image credit: Flickr.comLast year, Gino made an appearance on the Entrepreneur website to offer 8 questions that an entrepreneur can ask themselves to see if their company is truly focused. If you're familiar with EOS, then you understand that as companies grow bigger, they start getting distracted by "shiny" things around them that blow them off course, creating an unfocused company that cannot muster enough energy in its original direction to truly make an impact. EOS is all about bringing that focus back, and these questions are a great starting point that, while not solving anything, allows an entrepreneur to get a better pulse on their organization and figure out if they are really getting traction and growing. These questions include some heavy, hard to answer points that really allow for some organizational introspection, including:
What are my issues?
What are my core values?
What is my core focus?
What is my 10-year plan?
If you're new to EOS, these loaded questions may force you to look at your organization in a different light - do not be intimidated, most companies we work with do not consider questions like these beforehand. Afterwards, you'll have some objective points and issues on a sheet of paper, and therefore be able to gauge the efficiency and strength of your organization with much more clarity.
