I recently had an epiphany (if this can be called that) after teaching Scorecard for the last 13 years to over 125 companies, running my last two businesses on one, and teaching it to our 58 EOS Implementers and thousands of companies indirectly.

Michael Gerber’s E-Myth Revisited is one of the books we recommend to our EOS client leadership teams. You can buy a copy here on Amazon in your preferred media.

In the world of EOS, we often talk about "elevating to our unique ability" and delegating the rest. Dan Sullivan writes in his book, How The Best Get Better, "Focusing on one's weaknesses leads to a constant struggle with oneself throughout life--accompanied by a sense of deficiency, failure, and guilt....The best entrepreneurs in the world have discovered that the key to success is to focus totally on their Unique Ability and to delegate everything else."

In an EOS® Annual Planning session last week, one of our clients put “Fear of Conflict” and “Failure to Hold Each Other Accountable” on their Issues List. Those issues are obviously connected. Yet when it came time to solve issues, the team chose to work on just about anything but those two. They were, it turned out, afraid of the conflict they might experience if they tried to figure out why they were afraid of conflict.
