You’ve likely heard of EOS or Rockefeller Habits, being two of the most popular business operating systems. While there are spaces EOS and Rockefeller Habits are successful, they may not be the right fit for every business.  As a former coach using EOS, I know this firsthand. Let’s explore why I found a more humanized approach to be a better fit for both my coaching journey and my clients.  ## Where Other Business Operating Frameworks Fall Short EOS has all the bells and whistles, from Vision Traction Organizers to the Six Key Components™, offering a roadmap for our entrepreneurial endeavors. > While EOS has its successes, I struggled with its rigidity and not quite fitting into its one-size-fits-most mold. > > Our people had to adjust to fit the framework rather than the framework adapting for our talented, unique people. Regardless of what system you're on, inflexibility can significantly constrain your business, stifling your adaptability and innovation and restricting your growth potential. Having a fixed framework may impede your company's ability to pivot in response to dynamic market conditions and emerging opportunities, making it challenging for your business to stay agile and competitive.  ## Consider an Alternative to EOS or Rockefeller Habits Imagine a business operating system that goes beyond business strategy — it's about nurturing and honoring the heart of your organization and what makes you, *you*. Sounds intriguing, right? Get Strategy, Done® adapts to us, not the other way around. As an adaptable framework, it's centered around getting your strategy off the page and putting it into action without any of the politics or roadblocks you may have experienced with other frameworks. Plus, the humanity of your organization is honored throughout.   ### 5 Questions for Senior Leaders Considering an EOS Alternative #### 1. Are We Crystal Clear on Our Vision? It’s easy for your vision to become muddled if you’re experiencing rapid growth and change. If your organization doesn’t have a good grip on a vision moving forward, that could lead to disjointed efforts, sending you in circles. Center your team around a clear destination that your entire team can work toward. #### 2. Do We Have Accountability? Without a [solid system of accountability](https://elevate2grow.com/blog/5-accountability-tips-for-leadership), you won’t be moving toward your goals anytime soon. That’s why creating a clear and focused org chart for your business is essential. #### 3. Is Everyone Aligned on Strategy? Similar to your vision, if your strategy isn’t clear, it cannot be effective. Creating a focused, aligned road map that points to your destination will take your team from inconsistent, disconnected, and dysfunctional to accountable, cohesive, and productive.  #### 4. Are We Willing and Able to Put in the Work? When you put in the work over this time, you'll experience the reward. Your coach will be there to guide and facilitate you to the clarity and alignment, but your strategy needs to be built by you. #### 5. Is Our Organization Healthy? Let's look at your business through nine key components that indicate how healthy your operations and your team are. Healthy organizations score above 90% on this free assessment. It takes less than 7 minutes to complete and you’ll receive your score instantly. It’s a good first step.
