WHAT’S UP at Populist 

Commitment and Individual Responsibility go hand in hand at Populist Cleaning Co!

Intro to the E.O.S® VTO – Vision/Traction Organizer

As mentioned in last month’s newsletter, Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is a business management framework that helps business owners and leadership teams get their businesses running smoothly.

The Vision/Traction Organizer (VTO) is a key component of EOS.

This two page document defines and organizes Populist’s vision, mission, and goals.

The Vision Side defines who we are, and what we want to be:

• Core Values: the principles that guide our decision-making
• Core Focus: what Populist does best and what makes us unique
• Ten-Year Target: our vision for the future, 10 years from now
• Marketing Strategy: how we’ll present ourselves to the world
• Three-Year Picture: our vision for the future, three years from now

The Traction Side organizes and tracks how we’ll accomplish our Vision using these sections:

• One-Year Plan: our goals for the coming year
• 90-Day Rocks: the most important tasks that need to be completed in the next 90 days
• Quarterly Goals: what needs to be achieved each quarter
• Annual Goals: the goals that need to be achieved each year

The VTO is a living document that is updated regularly as Populist grows and changes. It is a valuable tool for keeping our leadership team focused on our goals and for ensuring that everyone in the company is working towards the same thing.

Populist’s VTO is not a one-time exercise. By regularly reviewing and updating the VTO, we can stay on track and make sure that we are moving in the right direction.

Quality partnering matters!

“Have you ever tried to navigate in a new city without your GPS device or phone? If so, you probably had a good map, so you wouldn’t get lost. A clearly defined vision shared by everyone in the company is like having that map. It helps you see where you’ve been, where you are, and where you are going. The result is a stronger company, which leads to more job security and opportunities for employees.”
