Here’s what I discovered is the secret to a great year: a great week. In EOS®, we teach teams to master the Level 10 Meeting™. It’s 90 minutes, same day, same time, every week. And when teams truly master it, they stop firefighting. They start making strong decisions. They leave the room knowing exactly what to do, and they do it. Starting with a clear vision, we work back to what a great week looks like. From there, the math that changed how I think about execution looks like this: 1 great L10 = 1 great week. 13 great weeks = 1 great quarter. 4 great quarters = 1 great year. And the beauty of EOS? If you have a bad week last week, this week is a new week! You reset. You refocus. You go again. The L10 isn’t just a meeting. It’s the pulse of your business. How’s your

  The Scorecard: Why Great Businesses Think Like Great Teams If you’ve ever watched a high-level sports team—whether it’s the NFL, NBA, or even college athletics—you’ll notice something: they are obsessed with the numbers. Not just the final score.Not just wins and losses. They track everything. Completion percentage. Turnover ratio. Yards per play. Shot selection. Defensive efficiency. Time of possession. Every stat tells a story, and coaches use those stories to make decisions in real time. Because the best teams don’t wait until the end of the game to figure out how they’re doing—they know at every moment. That’s exactly what a business scorecard should do. Your Business Needs a “Game-Day Dashboard” A scorecard is not a report you glance at once a month. It’s your real-time pulse. At its best, a scorecard answers one simple question: “Are we winning right now?” And just like in sports, that answer doesn’t

Hi I’m EOS Implementer Andy Waibel….. A successful contracting business requires much more than technical expertise.  Contractors in any discipline grow their business, and more importantly build profits by becoming process oriented and executing with discipline, accountability, and a long-term focus.  These same characteristics match very well to the implementation and execution of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). EOS is a complete system of simple tools designed and organized around 6 Key Components.  These 6 Key Component areas have been engineered and perfected through more than 500,000 implemented sessions, and epitomize process orientation much like a great contracting business.  The 6 Key Components of the EOS system are:  Vision – People – Data – Issues – Process – Traction. Each of the 6 Key Components are an integral element of the successful system.  All Key Components are supported by specific tools and processes – more than 40 tools in all,

There comes a point in the growth of most construction companies where expansion starts to feel more like strain than progress. Revenue may be increasing and the backlog may be strong, yet internally, the business becomes more complex and harder to manage. I recently spoke with a family-owned construction company in Central Florida that had reached this stage. They had built a strong reputation in the Orlando market, maintained long-standing client relationships, and developed a committed team. By most measures, the business was successful, but they had hit a plateau. The constraint wasn’t opportunity. The Central Florida construction market continues to grow. The challenge was internal. The company had outgrown the structure that had supported its earlier success. Like many construction businesses, the company was built around the owner’s direct involvement. The owner was still deeply engaged in estimating, project decisions, and problem-solving. The leadership team was capable, but roles

Hi I’m EOS Implementer Andy Waibel….. I love being an Entrepreneur and working with family businesses. Over the years, I have worked for my Father, my Father has worked for me, my brother has worked for me, I’ve worked for my brother, and I’ve worked with my wife – which is BY FAR the most challenging of my family business roles. Back in 2006, the time tested principles of EOS became what we called the “Building Blocks” for operating our businesses, and these EOS Principles have had an enormous positive impact on our lives and our family ever since. I’ve enjoyed glorious times working with my family and growing our businesses, mixed with very difficult moments of pain.  But I would not trade a single day of our journey because the work that we’ve done together has been meaningful, rewarding, and provided care for our family and for the hundreds
