How Jerry works
Jerry runs EOS sessions with the full leadership team. Every engagement starts with EOS Pure, which is the standard EOS approach. Then he shapes the tools to fit the company instead of forcing the company to fit the tools. His method is to listen, ask, and facilitate, because he sees leadership teams as already holding most of the answers. He asks hard questions to get tough issues on the table and helps the team organize its answers into a plan.
