Run a better business, live a better life
EOS Worldwide, Dean Durbin
For many business owners and leadership teams, the pressures of daily chaos, financial strain, and feeling like “the business owns me” are all too familiar. In the attempt to manage it all, many try to patch together various processes and management systems—only to realize the hard truth, which is a business cannot thrive on multiple operating frameworks. It needs one clear, cohesive system to thrive.
This workshop introduces a proven, holistic business and people operating system designed to strengthen the core areas of an organization. Participants will gain an overview how a properly implemented Business Operating System will strengthen the 6 Key Components of a business: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. By strengthening these foundational elements, attendees will learn how to run a better business and, ultimately, live a better life.

Leading Dynamic Teams
Modern Leadership At Work – Construction
Growth Solutions Team, David Kelly
Traditional leadership is hierarchal leadership, where a person has vested authority over others. Traditional leadership systems work well when both the team and the operating environment are stable.
AEC and modern construction environments are anything but “stable”. A variety of personnel, subcontractors, government officials, and assorted other stakeholders is ever changing.
In the fast paced, changing environments site to site, and often, even at the same job site, you’ll benefit from leading a dynamic team which will succeed when flexibility and variance are required to meet objectives.
