We love to see you #RunningOnEOS! 🙌

That's what we love to hear!

The goal is to have this system adopted by your entire organization! So every team within the company would be participating in Level 10 Meetings.

Great question! There isn't one right answer for this because the needs of the business are constantly changing. As a general rule of thumb, you want to focus on things that are time-sensitive (like another department needs the approval to move forward on a project for example), topics related to your Rocks, and from there, determine what can be solved in your meeting that is going to get you closer to your 1-Year Goal. Most Issues should be solved with an actionable solution (i.e. a to-do for a team member), but there are times when you may need to create a 2-week to-do or even push something off to your V/TO so you can discuss it in a deeper capacity and create a Rock around it. There are always going to be slightly different opinions on what's "priority" but it's important to remember that these L10s are for the Greater Good of the Organization, so every Issue focused on and solved should reflect that. Egos and personal vendettas need to be checked at the door (or virtual door if you're remote!) We hope this helps!

This video might shed a little bit more light on your question as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m5upeJOqqZi4Y30.html

Voting on issues to IDS takes up valuable meeting time. Some things will naturally take higher priority (like time-sensitive issues or issues related to Rocks). The rest of the list will live on until your next Level 10 Meeting so there isn't a pressure to solve all of the issues within one meeting, but simply as many as you can get through effectively.

The Leadership L10 should consist of the people in charge of the main functions. From there, each department should hold their own L10 with the Department head and their teams. For example, there should be a Leadership L10, a Sales Leadership L10 (if you have multiple Sales leaders), and a Sales L10 (your leader and their team). We hope this helps!

@@EOSWorldwide Great information and loving EOS. As for the IDS portion, while I'm sure there are things that the Leadership Team can and should solve, I would think that bringing issues out of that meeting and having the teams who are impacted and doing the work, should be involved in the actual solving which would make for better solutions and a stronger company culture. Thoughts?

@@user-qf4bm1zc4i 💯! Each department and team should be having their own Level 10 Meetings as well, in addition to the Leadership Team. This is where cascading messages come into play; leaders need to cascade the proper issues so their teams can do what they need to do to help solve them. Sometimes the solve at the Leadership Team Level 10 Meeting is "bring this to your team"!

Building in buffer and decompression time after your meetings can help break up those 90 minutes. There's no hard and fast rule for the optimal amount of time in between meetings but, 15 minutes is a great place to start!

We work closely with Patrick Lencioni and have previously featured him as our keynote speaker at our annual conference! Our ideologies overlap quite a bit due to our close relationship. We regularly encourage our EOS Implementers to work Lencioni’s trust builder exercises into their sessions!
