Every now and then, one of my clients knows themselves so well, they take matters into their own hands to stay on track during our session. This was a particularly creative way to keep the Squirrel close by.

Here's an idea that blew my mind.

Want to elevate your hiring process?

My fellow Implementer, Vijay Nyayapati, says you should start by delegating.

The Delegate and Elevate tool, typically used to identify tasks that drain your energy, can transform your interviews by helping you pinpoint candidates who can take over those responsibilities.

Perhaps the hardest thing for Visionaries to do is let someone else run the day-to-day. It's SO hard. I get it.

BUT... If you don’t let your Integrator take charge, it can lead to what we call “organizational whiplash.” When new ideas, changes, or shifts in direction come too fast, it can cause confusion, make it hard to focus, and actually slow things down.

Integrators are there to bring your Visionary ideas to life. They make sure everything is running smoothly and that resources are used wisely to get you closer to your goals.

For this partnership to work, you need to trust your Integrator to lead and turn ideas into action.

To avoid whiplash, you can:
- Share your vision clearly, then step back and let your Integrator handle the ex*****on.
- Have regular Same Page Meetings to stay aligned with your Integrator.
- Focus on what you do best: dreaming up new ideas and future plans, while your Integrator manages the day-to-day.

The Visionary/Integrator relationship works because both parties bring different strengths and respect each other’s roles.

When you empower their Integrators, you're setting your organization up for steady growth and lasting success.

Since the pandemic, the labor landscape has been as turbulent as the economy.

From quiet quitting to mass resignations, the shake-ups kept coming.

Recently, however, job turnover rates have settled quite a bit, and national unemployment rates are between 3% and 4%. You no longer have to sn**ch up talent before your competitor swoops in.

On the contrary, you have the time and luxury to embark on more effective hiring techniques. Mark O'Donnell's experience in recruitment led him to write his latest book, "People: Dare to Build an Intentional Culture," in which he recommends a “hire slow, fire fast” process.

A slow hiring process can help you gain many advantages as you navigate the labor market’s “next norm.”

I love when my clients make their Core Values part of their marketing. But you have to do it properly.

If you’re going to commit to incorporating your Core Values into your marketing strategy, Seth Silvers pleads with you to not treat it like a feel-good exercise.

Instead, approach it as a way to powerfully attract and retain customers who align with your mission and vision 👉 https://www.eosworldwide.com/guest-blog/three-tips-incorporate-core-values-into-marketing

Incorporating Core Values in your marketing campaigns, can powerfully attract and retain customers who align with your mission and vision.

Here’s the hard truth: Profit should be your priority in the business circle, but harmony should be your priority in the family circle.

You might be thinking, “Wait, we need harmony in the business too!” 🤔

Not so fast.

Harmony doesn’t belong in the business circle when it compromises the company's health. In the business, it’s all about Right People, Right Seats—and sometimes that means NOT putting family in key roles just for the sake of keeping peace.

Run your business for profit. Run your family for harmony.

Stick to EOS principles, let the system guide tough conversations, and avoid family drama spilling into the business. If you’re following EOS purely, you can blame the system for those hard decisions, not your brother. 😉

And for the owners out there: Your job is to maximize opportunity and minimize risk for BOTH the family and the business. Don’t sacrifice your company’s future just to keep everyone employed.

Hire smart, not just close.

If you want to build a team that gets results, you need to delegate and elevate intentionally and consistently.

As you invest in your leaders, they invest in their team, and ultimately, the entire organization rises to meet a new level of productivity.

Patrick Metzger touched on this at last year's EOS Conference; here's a clip from his breakout session.
