Growing in the Right Direction HOW AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SYSTEM CAN AID IN OPERATIONS
Here are some takeaways from Think Realty Resident Expert Gary Harper and his EOS method that could help your company’s track to healthy growth:
1. Goals must be measurable. Break down your desired result into processes that will allow you to measure achievement. Make smart goals and implement procedures behind them then report these measurables on a consistent basis to stay on track and focused. 2. Put the right people in the right seats. Define your leadership team to ensure they are operating effectively and efficiently. This will not only change what you can achieve and introduce rapid growth, but it will have a tremendous effect on your company culture. 3. Let the leader lead. When owners and/or presidents are taken out of the daily business minutia, they can be the visionaries they are, which allows them to become better leaders to produce new ideas and perspective. Then, make sure each department within the company has its own leader to integrate those ideas. 4. Meet regularly for health check-ups. These might be quarterly sessions in which you report the measurables and statistics of your goals as well as progress toward setting new goals for the next quarter. 5. Prioritize and maintain accountability. Structured, short weekly meetings allow the team to define tasks and speak about the health of the company and feedback from employees and clients. As your company grows, these tips become even more es- sential. Business solutions such as these can help you reach new levels and enjoy the opportunity for success. •

become a large organization can be daunting. Sometimes even successful companies struggle to grow in the right direction and often need some help. That was the case for the owner of Integrity First Home Buyers, Eric Brewer, who found himself—and his business—at a crossroad. Gary and Susan Harper, owners of Sharper Business Solutions brought Brewer and his team the EOS— Entrepreneurial Operating System— and it didn’t just change Brewer’s company, “it changed our lives,” he said. “Starting with defining our vision and our core purpose we were able to lay out specific goals. Not just immediate goals, but a well thought out plan for the company’s future. Defining a vision that was shared by everyone immediately brought us together as a team,” Brewer said.
