Guest Spotlight: John Gross of Driving Change Inc – Helping Business Owners Reclaim Control with EOS
Meet John Gross, the seasoned entrepreneur and EOS Implementer behind Driving Change Inc. With over 30 years of global experience leading operations and process improvement, John now dedicates his life to helping small and mid-sized businesses break through growth ceilings using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). His mission? Free business owners from the chaos of working in their company so they can finally work on it.
John joined us on Episode 138 of the Clicks & Bricks Podcast to share the six key components of EOS: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. If you’re feeling stuck in your business—or just ready for more freedom and clarity—this episode is your roadmap.
5 Key Takeaways:
- Common Vision: If your leadership team isn’t 100% aligned on where you’re going and how to get there, your company will stall. EOS fixes that.
- Right People, Right Seats: Culture-fit and competency go hand in hand. Misaligned hires hurt your business more than you realize.
- Measure What Matters: Stop flying blind. Create a scorecard with 5–15 KPIs that give you a real-time pulse on your company.
- Address Issues Head-On: Use the IDS (Identify, Discuss, Solve) framework to tackle your business’s real root problems—not just the symptoms.
- Traction is Everything: Quarterly goals (“Rocks”) and weekly “Level 10 Meetings” keep everyone accountable and moving forward.
