"The business coach who turned founder chaos into a repeatable operating system."
Gino Wickman is the creator of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), a practical framework for running entrepreneurial businesses that he distilled from his own experience turning around his family's struggling company in his twenties. After successfully selling that business, he spent years coaching entrepreneurs before formalizing EOS into a repeatable system built around six components — Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction. He cofounded EOS Worldwide, now one of the largest business-coaching organizations of its kind, and has authored or co-authored eight books, including Traction, Get a Grip, Rocket Fuel, and The Entrepreneurial Leap. His work has helped tens of thousands of companies replace founder-dependent decision-making with a shared operating rhythm.
