Lencioni says that the rumor mill is the most pervasive means of communication in most companies – spreading misinformation and causing confusion in the company. Instead of trying to stop the spread of information by word of mouth, Lencioni suggests that leaders should take advantage of this medium and spread **true rumors**.

It's the nature of the beast. Given that resources are always deficient in some way, it's imperative to remember that **perfect is the enemy of done**. EOS® employs the 20/80 rule throughout the system. Focus on accomplishing the 20% that will help you achieve 80% of the result.
