EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System)
UNDERSTANDING OUR EOS INTEGRATION
At Great Plains Transport, we look at our over the road (OTR) truck drivers differently than most transportation companies. We see you as people first and drivers second.
Our President makes a point of getting to know every single person by name. This drive comes from our origins as a family run business, and because he knows his drivers are his biggest asset. It’s also because we believe it’s not hard to be a good person.
Leadership Team Dynamics
The president of Great Plains Transport, leading a team of 250+, emphasizes the value of honest feedback. Regular quarterly meetings with the leadership team have been instrumental in fostering open communication.
Impact of EOS® Implementation
The implementation of EOS® has brought about significant changes in the company’s leadership dynamics. It has enabled team members to openly discuss their strengths and weaknesses, and address any ‘elephants in the room’, fostering a culture of transparency and honesty.
EOS® in Action
An anecdote from the Director of Safety at Great Plains Transport highlights an EOS® session where team members openly shared their strengths and weaknesses, illustrating the system’s effectiveness in team development and transparency.
Long-Term Planning
The EOS® system is credited for providing clear, concise goals and directions, helping Great Plains Transport to stay on track with their 10-year and 25-year plans.
At the core of the EOS system is a set of six key components: Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. These components are designed to work together to create a strong foundation for the business, to help leaders stay focused on their goals, and to ensure that everyone in the organization is working towards the same objectives.
The EOS system has been adopted by thousands of companies around the world, and its success has been attributed to its simplicity, practicality, and adaptability.
