Choosing the Right EOS® Software for Your Team

Are you paying for software to manage your EOS® tools? With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which one offers the best user experience. Let’s explore some of the top contenders and see how they stack up.

Ranking EOS® Management Tools

Working with various companies, I’ve had the opportunity to see different software in action. Here’s how they rank based on user experience:

3. EOS One

Unfortunately, EOS One lands at the bottom of the list. While it may have its merits, other tools offer a more seamless experience.

2. Bloom Growth

Previously known as Traction Tools, Bloom Growth was designed for EOS® companies. Although it parted ways with EOS® a few years ago, it still provides a solid framework for managing your EOS® tools.

1. Ninety.io

Ninety.io takes the top spot. Many leadership and department teams I’ve worked with appreciate its functionality and ease of use, making it a favorite among EOS® practitioners.

The Power of Google Sheets

Don’t overlook the simplicity and effectiveness of Google Sheets. Many teams, especially those new to EOS®, start with a simple spreadsheet. Google Sheets can be a powerful tool for running Level 10 Meetings™ without any additional cost.

I’ve conducted hundreds of Level 10 Meetings™ using Google Sheets, and they can be just as impactful as those run on more sophisticated software. If you’re hesitant about adding another tech stack or managing more logins, a well-designed spreadsheet might be all you need.

I’m offering my version of a Google Sheets template for you to use with your leadership team or departments.

Scorecard Accountability

How to Improve Scorecard Metrics in EOS®

,

Introduction

If your scorecard metrics are off track, it’s time to take action. Fixing scorecard metrics in EOS® requires accountability, proactive solutions, and leadership team alignment. If an important metric stays off for two to three weeks without action, it will likely remain that way.

So, how do you fix scorecard metrics in EOS® and ensure accountability? Let’s break it down.

Why Scorecard Metrics Matter

  • Early warning system: Identifies problems before they become major issues
  • Accountability tool: Ensures team members follow through on commitments
  • Performance driver: Helps maintain focus on key business objectives

If your Level 10 Meetings™ reveal that the same scorecard metric is off week after week, it’s time to drop it down to the Issues List and IDS (Identify, Discuss, Solve) the root cause.

Addressing the Google Review Issue

For many service-based businesses, Google reviews directly impact sales, operations, and customer trust.

Let’s say your goal is five Google reviews per week, but your scorecard shows zero for four weeks straight. Simply hoping for a change won’t work—you need to take proactive steps to correct the issue.

Passive approach:

Adding a review request link in an email signature (*low response rate, unpredictable results*)

Proactive approach:

  • Make five customer calls: Assign someone to personally call five past customers each week
  • Send a handwritten thank-you note: Include a QR code for quick review submission
  • Deliver a small appreciation gift: Drop off a branded item or small gift
  • Take photos with happy customers: Use them for testimonials and social proof

How to Hold Your Team Accountable

  • Drop it to the Issues List in your Level 10 Meeting™
  • Have an open discussion to determine the root cause
  • Assign clear action steps to the person responsible
  • Review the outcome in next week’s meeting

2 tools to start your EOS journey

Getting Started with EOS®: The 2 Most Important Tools

,

Introduction

If you’re getting started with EOS®, you’ve likely encountered tools like Rocks, Level 10 Meetings™, Scorecards, Accountability Charts, and the Vision Traction Organizer™. While powerful, trying to implement all of them at once can feel overwhelming. 

So where do you begin? How do you apply EOS® without getting lost in complexity? 

The answer: Start with just two key tools.

Step 1: Lock in Your Level 10 Meetings

The most important first step in your EOS® journey is establishing a Level 10 Meeting™ with your leadership team. This 90-minute weekly meeting becomes sacred time—only missed for vacations or family emergencies.

Why It’s Critical:

  • Keeps your team aligned and accountable
  • Ensures consistent problem-solving and decision-making
  • Builds the discipline needed for EOS® success

Pro Tip:

If you’re not running Level 10 Meetings™ yet, schedule your first one now—even if it’s two weeks out. Simply getting it on the calendar is 80% of the battle!

Step 2: Implement Your First Set of Rocks

Once your Level 10 Meetings™ are in place, the next step is defining your Rocks—your top 3 to 7 priorities that must be completed this quarter. These are the most important things that will drive your business forward.

Why Rocks Matter:

  • They keep your leadership team focused on what truly moves the business forward
  • They prevent day-to-day distractions from consuming your time
  • They create measurable goals that bring traction and momentum

If you can commit to running Level 10 Meetings™ and setting Rocks for your first quarter, you’re ahead of most companies. The other EOS® tools will be waiting for you when you’re ready.

The 4 Key Roles for Running an Effective Level 10 Meeting

Introduction

A well-run Level 10 Meeting involves four essential roles beyond simply attending.

The 4 Key Roles

1. The Integrator (Meeting Facilitator)

The Integrator leads the meeting, ensuring it starts and ends on time while keeping the team accountable. They manage the agenda, facilitate discussions, and ensure that the Scorecard, Rocks, and Headlines are addressed properly. Most importantly, they oversee the Issues List to guarantee that problems make their way onto it and get solved.

2. The Issues List Manager

Throughout the meeting, various topics arise that need further discussion. One person should be responsible for capturing these issues in real time. Whether they surface during Scorecard review, Rock updates, or Headlines, this person ensures they are recorded so the team can IDS (Identify, Discuss, and Solve) them later.

3. The To-Do Recorder

To-dos can emerge at any point during the meeting, sometimes in subtle ways. This person ensures that every action item is clearly defined, assigned to the right person, and given a due date. They should slow the meeting down when necessary to confirm: Who needs to do what by when? Spending 30 extra seconds on clarity now can save hours of confusion later.

4. The Time Manager

Time is of the essence in a Level 10 Meeting. The Time Manager keeps the team on track, ensuring that each agenda item receives the appropriate focus. They must also safeguard the last five minutes of the meeting to recap to-dos, assign cascading messages, and collect meeting ratings.

Rotating Roles for Better Engagement

For leadership teams with many members, rotating these roles quarterly can help distribute responsibility and keep meetings fresh. No one should carry the same role indefinitely; a dynamic approach ensures shared ownership of the meeting’s success.

Make Your Level 10 Meetings More Effective

By clearly defining and assigning these roles, your team can run smoother, more efficient meetings that drive results. If you need help optimizing your Level 10 Meetings or other EOS processes, schedule a free 30-minute IDS session with me.
