Traction

Gino Wickman

1st ed.

Great vision without traction is hallucination. Great traction without vision is aimless. Six components, one weekly rhythm, and your company stops repeating the same fights.

About the book

Gino Wickman's Entrepreneurial Operating System breaks a growing company down into six components -- Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, Traction -- and gives leadership teams concrete tools (the V/TO, the Accountability Chart, the Scorecard, Quarterly Rocks, the Level 10 Meeting) to run all six well. It's less a philosophy than an operating manual: the same weekly meeting structure and issue-solving process, run consistently, is what turns chaos into a business that executes.

Best used for

  • —Running a weekly leadership meeting that actually resolves issues instead of rehashing them
  • —Setting 90-day company and individual priorities that aren't just business-as-usual
  • —Diagnosing whether you have the right people in the right seats before making a change

“This is by far one of the most important books I have read as an entrepreneur and business owner.”
