What the Heck Is EOS?
by Gino Wickman and Tom Bouwer
A short explainer of the Entrepreneurial Operating System written for employees rather than owners: the six components, the accountability chart, rocks, scorecards, Level 10 meetings and what each means for the person in the seat. Clear, brief and useful only if your company runs EOS.
Read it if…
your company is adopting EOS and you want everyone on staff to understand it in an hour.

Three things you will actually use
- Everyone owns a seat with five roles.
- Rocks are 90-day priorities, three to seven each.
- Issues get identified, discussed and solved in that order.
Do this first
Hand it to each team member before your first Level 10 meeting.
Our verdict
EOS for the whole staff.
