Stop wasting time and energy with ineffective meetings .

EOS , also known as the Entrepreneurial Operating System , is a game-changer for entrepreneurs looking to supercharge their businesses . It ’ s a toolkit filled with simple yet powerful concepts and practical tools that help you achieve your business goals and improve in three key areas : vision , traction and health . And one of the gems in this toolkit is the Level 10 Meeting .

The Level 10 Meeting is a key component of the EOS system and is called such because the goal is to have every meeting operating at a “ level 10 ” effectiveness . By implementing a structured approach , you can maximize productivity and ensure that your meetings address the most critical issues without wasting time and energy on irrelevant topics .

THE LEVEL 10 LOOK :

Same day Same time Same agenda Starts on time Ends on time

Segue ( 5 minutes ):

• Best personal and business news of the week .

• Helps build team cohesion and gets everyone in a positive state of mind .

Scorecard ( 5 minutes ):

• Review weekly numbers and metrics .

• If off-track , they ’ re dropped down to the IDS section of the meeting .

Rock Review ( 5 minutes ):

• Discuss the progress of your quarterly goals , or “ Rocks .”

• Again , if off-track , they are dropped to the IDS .

Customer / Employee Headlines ( 5 minutes ):

• Share any important news , good or bad .

• Any problematic issues are dropped to the IDS .

To-Do List ( 5 minutes ):

• Quick review of last week ’ s To-Dos .

• They ’ re either marked as done or dropped to the IDS .

IDS ( Issues Solving Process - 60 minutes ):

• The team identifies , discusses , and solves the most important issues that have been dropped down from the other sections — stay focused on what the root cause of the issue really is .

Conclusion ( 5 minutes ):

• Recap your To-Dos and any cascading messages .

• Rate the meeting from 1-10 to ensure they ’ re always improving .

Remember , like any system , the EOS and Level 10 Meetings will only be effective if they ’ re used consistently and honestly . It takes time to get used to this new structure , and there might be resistance at first . But with commitment and practice , many teams find that it significantly improves their productivity and satisfaction .
