We are highly dysfunctional right now with cash flow issues and a leadership team that is actively yelling at each other. How do we know if we are actually ready to start EOS with you, or if we need to clean up our own mess first?

You are not ready for EOS® if you are in an active cash crisis or if your leadership team is fundamentally unwilling to be honest. If you cannot make payroll next week, do not hire an implementer. You need to focus entirely on immediate cash survival. However, if your dysfunction is behavioral, such as constant friction, lack of alignment, or leadership team members pulling in different directions, that is exactly why you start. We do not wait for your team to magically become aligned before we begin. The process itself is designed to expose and resolve that friction. If a leader cannot or will not change, the system will make that clear through the GWC™ filter (Get It, Want It, Capacity to Do It). To begin, you must have a functioning business model, a leadership team of at least three people who are willing to enter a room, and an owner who is ready to stop playing dictator. If you have those baseline elements, you are ready. We start with a Focus Day to establish your Accountability Chart and initial focus. If you are looking for a magic wand that solves your cash issues without you making hard people decisions, save your money.
