A studio founder explains how adopting EOS in 2021 shifted their leadership structure after buying out a partner. The framework helped clarify roles and moved them from integrator to visionary, transforming how the company operates.
EOS was brought up to me through the Entrepreneurs Organization accelerator program in 2019. Fast forward to 2021. I got a copy of Traction gifted to me and I just dove into it. It was a very quick read and I had just bought out a former partner in the agency and so it was really like my time to take the helm and really that EOS framework we self implemented starting in 2021 and it just was a big awakening for me on the idea that the integrator visionary pairing I had been sitting in the integrator role as like of service to the company because we had needed that. But truly I'm a visionary so it's just great to kind of sit in both of those shoes but then like have that moment like there's a handbook behind who I am and how do I operate as a leader and finding within my own internal organization who is my integrator. It actually turned out to be my creative director and so I'm now allowed to fully step into that visionary roll.
