This is a phrase professional EOS Implementers use frequently. It helps leaders keep things in perspective, avoid unnecessary drama, and focus on resolving Issues (rather than lamenting their inevitable existence). The following story reminded me just how important that discipline is…in business and in life.

At this special time of the year, many of us will be hitting the pause button on our businesses to reflect, rest and spend time with family and friends. So, I also wanted to pause and thank all of you who are part of our EOS Worldwide family.

Filling out the Accountability Chart with the help of a business coach or EOS Implementer helps leadership teams identify who is accountable for what, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the right people are in the right seats. Before you move people into new roles or start hiring new members of the team, you need to start with GWC.

For business coaches and EOS Implementers™, the roles of Integrators and Visionaries are an essential part of any organization, no matter how big or how small. In a partnership, EOS Implementers typically identify the visionary as the owner, co-owner or founder, while the integrator is often the CEO, president or general manager. The integrator and the visionary couldn’t be more different in terms of how they think and problem solve, however, when their individual Unique Ability® is correctly matched together and they are working toward the same business goals, the results can be exciting.
