About

Joe Paulsen understands what it takes to lead through complexity because he’s lived it.

For 24 years, Joe served as General Manager of a $40M manufacturing company, navigating the exact challenges his clients face today: private equity transitions, scaling operations under pressure, building teams that actually execute. He didn’t learn leadership from a textbook. He learned it in the trenches, growing a declining business segment from $1.2M to $13M in six years by using EOS to align his team and drive real accountability.

That’s what makes working with Joe different. He’s an Expert EOS Implementer®, yes. But he’s also a former executive who discovered EOS as the solution to his own leadership struggles. That perspective shapes every client engagement.

Joe’s background in Team Coaching International, Kolbe, and Working Genius helps him dive deeper into the People component of EOS with leadership teams. As a Certified Great Boss Workshop facilitator, he equips managers with practical tools to have better conversations, set clearer expectations, and get more from their people. The result? Stronger EOS execution at every level of the organization.

Since 2016, Joe has guided more than 80 organizations across the Midwest through EOS implementation, facilitating over 1,000 sessions. He’s also a member of the EOS Speaker’s Bureau, delivering workshops that translate executive experience into actionable EOS tools.

When you work with Joe, you’re getting someone who’s built, scaled, and led teams through the same pressures you’re facing right now. Someone who knows how to strengthen every component of EOS to help you get the traction you need.
