We are already working sixty hours a week just keeping the business afloat. How do we absorb the sudden administrative burden of managing quarterly Rocks and weekly Level 10 Meeting tasks without our core operations suffering?

It is normal to worry about adding more work to an already overloaded schedule. However, implementing EOS® is not about adding new tasks, it is about replacing your current, inefficient ways of working with a streamlined, disciplined operating system.

In the beginning, there is a short-term investment of time. Yes, you will spend full days in sessions, and you will need to learn how to run a weekly Level 10 Meeting™ effectively. But this investment immediately starts returning time back to your schedule.

By establishing clear Rocks, we force your team to prioritize. You will learn to say no to distractions that do not move the needle. Instead of working on fifty different loose projects, your leadership team will focus on three to seven highly impactful priorities every ninety days.

Your weekly Level 10 Meeting™ is designed to eliminate the need for constant, ad-hoc meetings and disruptive internal emails throughout the week. By consolidating your communication into one highly efficient ninety-minute weekly slot, we actually free up hours of lost productivity.

We do not expect perfection overnight. The transition is phased over the first twelve months of our engagement. As you master the tools, you will find that the administrative work of running the system actually reduces your overall workload and brings sanity back to your daily operations.
