How Visionaries & Integrators Who Are Implementing EOS Can Better Understand Themselves And Their Team Members
The Entrepreneurial Operating System, EOS for short, is a set of practical tools and concepts used by over 100,000 companies around the globe to simplify, clarify and attain their vision. With Kolbe serving as the endorsed tool of EOS Worldwide, there is a natural overlap between these two worlds. EOS sets the vision, but Kolbe provides the baseline understanding of the individuals charged to establish that vision.
Read on to learn how leaders implementing EOS successfully bring these tools together.
Integrating Kolbe with EOS
The Kolbe A™ Index defines an individual's innate talents. Once a leader integrating EOS identifies and acknowledges their instincts, they can capitalize on them effectively; thereby putting them in a position of success.
A key tenant of EOS is the role definition between the two leaders in the organization: the Visionary (typically the founder; wanting to take big risks) and the Integrator (charged with bringing aforementioned vision to life). Once the Visionary and Integrator leverage their ability to tap into their natural problem-solving skills, they can nurture their most productive and stress-free versions of themselves. More importantly, they can attain a better grasp of their Method of operation (MO).
Standard Instinctive Abilities of a Visionary
Visionaries commonly initiate the Quick Start, thriving in a world of wide-ranging risks and uncertainties. They also have a high sense of urgency. Their intuitive abilities on their leadership are predicated on the idea their team players may misunderstand them and vice versa.
The smartest of the visionaries can hire a team that complements their capabilities rather than duplicating them. However, a visionary needs to possess a strong understanding of their instincts to secure a mutually beneficial relationship with their team.
Visionaries Using The Kolbe A™ Index Understand Themselves Better and Grow Their Business Productively
Visionaries have stated the following as benefits of using the Kolbe A™ Index:
Understand themselves and their teams better: With the tool, visionaries can easily decipher their team's instincts. In turn, they can determine how their employees reflect and approach decisions and actions from their leaders.
Build a robust plan of actions: How visionaries and their employees gather and share information is unique to them. By taking the Kolbe A™ Index, a visionary will understand which team member(s) requires a certain level of leverage and detail, helping them develop a more concrete plan.
Innovate at their own pace: As a visionary, it's very common to make a turnaround on an idea even after launching them. Pivoting from ideas happens for several reasons, such as new marketing trends and having new ideas on the line. A Kolbe A™ Index helps visionaries make such pivots better by understanding how their teams handle such risks and uncertainties.
Standard Instinctive Abilities of a Integrator
Integrators are often very different in their intuitive abilities and cannot reasonably fit into an MO box. However, most of them tend to Initiate on the Fact Finder or Follow Thru Action Modes™. Thus, they operate on a mid-range level at their Quick Start intuitive abilities, which is crucial in streamlining their relationship with the visionary.
Integrators Using The Kolbe A™ Index Understand Themselves Better And Grow their Business More Productively
The Kolbe A™ Index assessment helps integrators attain the following feats:
Create a Winning Team: Integrators can use a Kolbe A™ Index analysis to identify the best team. They can pick out their team by assessing their unchanging instincts on top of their personality and intelligence. This helps them hire a knowledgeable team of professionals they are compatible with, and who can undertake select business projects professionally. Adept integrators also know how to get the best out of all of these individuals.
Execute Business Plans Better: By understanding their intuitive abilities, integrators can focus on the execution without second-guessing themselves. The assessment gives integrators confidence in their implementation process, eliminating the insecurities that would otherwise slow them down. Their heightened ability to understand their team's role also helps them keep their teams accountable.
Improve their Teams' Productivity: Not only does the integrator understand their strengths, but also those of their individual team members. This ideally keeps them from engaging their workforce in the wrong way, trying to poke holes into their decisions, and spending time investing in a non-committed team. A Kolbe A™ Index helps the integrator focus on the whole team's strengths, which tremendously boosts productivity.
