Today our guest is Allen Cobb, a Certified EOS Implementer. He encourages business leaders to utilize some type of operating system, regardless of whether it's EOS or another framework.

Having a framework plus establishing and documenting processes can help companies overcome the challenges that arise when scaling.

Allen also shares advice about adopting new technologies, stressing the need for buy-in from key stakeholders and a willingness to embrace change. He suggests leading with "the why" when implementing new systems or processes.

The episode concludes with the importance of "doing the work," rather than expecting instant results without effort. For leaders, this work includes delegation, empowering team members, and focusing on high-value activities.
