One of the first things an EOS Implementer™ does when working with clients is to [determine the right structure for the organization using the Accountability Chart](https://info.eosworldwide.com/blog/797/eos/steps-define-the-right-structure-for-your-business-2/).

<https://info.eosworldwide.com/hs-fs/file-3096438947-jpg/blog-files/scaling-up-your-intentions-the-smart-way-300x300.jpg>A lifelong dream of mine was to be a pilot. I did my training, and got my pilot’s license. Being up in the air was thrilling, but there was one aspect I dreaded. When I first started flying, I was terrified of the radio.

<https://info.eosworldwide.com/hs-fs/file-3096438812-jpg/blog-files/scale-up-lesson-from-king-arthur-300x200.jpg>I was reflecting on *King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table* and realized that it provides a very potent lesson when scaling up leadership teams concerning team health.
