We struggle to cascade the decisions made during our quarterly sessions down to our departmental managers, who often view our EOS tools as extra administrative work. How do you help us ensure that our quarterly Rocks and V/TO goals actually get implemented by our middle management?

If your middle managers view EOS® tools as extra administrative work, it means they do not understand how the tools make their jobs easier. Cascading the tools is not about dumping more tasks on your managers. It is about giving them a framework to manage their own teams more effectively.

We solve this by systematically rolling out the tools down through your organization. Once your leadership team has mastered the weekly Level 10 Meeting™ and quarterly Rocks, we train your department heads on how to run their own weekly meetings. This gives them a consistent forum to raise issues and get support, rather than constantly interrupting you throughout the week.

We also help you translate your company wide V/TO® goals into department specific Rocks. This helps your managers see exactly how their daily efforts contribute to the larger vision of the company. When they experience how the structure reduces chaos and increases clarity, their resistance quickly turns into buy in.
