Toolbox Series: Curt Swindoll on EOS - A Framework for Growth

In The Thick of It

Curt Swindoll is a certified implementer of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a comprehensive framework designed to help leadership teams gain traction. In this episode, Curt explains the EOS system which provides tools to clarify vision, solve problems with accountability, and achieve alignment.

Some key EOS concepts covered include leadership team roles like "Visionary" and "Integrator," implementing effective rhythms like the weekly L10 meeting, and getting 100% of the right people in the right seats. Curt shares stories of the organizational transformation he has facilitated. Host Scott Gingold also swaps personal examples, crediting EOS for enabling him to take a month-long sabbatical with full confidence in his business and leadership team

While EOS can be self-implemented, Curt advocates for the high-impact guidance of a professional implementer. He unpacks the components of EOS and how strengthening alignment across all six areas - Vision, People, Data, Process, Issues and Traction - is key for fully realizing results. Anyone leading a small to mid-sized organization can benefit from learning more about the EOS operating system.
