In this episode of Efficiently Ever After, I’m calling out one of the biggest issues I see with founders and CEOs—unclear leadership. If your team constantly looks confused, it’s probably not a talent problem. It’s because you never gave them the damn map.
I’m sharing how implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) completely changed how we operate at Northern Primrose. From Rocks to the V/TO to L10 meetings, EOS gave us structure, clarity, and a way to hold people accountable without micromanaging the shit out of everything.
This episode is packed with straight talk and practical tips to help you stop playing business and actually lead one. If you’re tired of carrying the entire load, repeating yourself on Slack, or wondering why no one’s taking initiative—this one’s for you.
Takeaways:
If your team looks confused, that’s on you.
I hadn’t given anyone the big picture.
Busywork kills momentum.
EOS helped us stop winging it and start leading.
People don’t just want tasks—they want purpose.
Leadership without babysitting? That’s the goal.
Just pick one tool—Rocks, V/TO, L10s—whatever.
Write the fucking plan.
