Was 2025 the year you planned? Whether you crushed it or fell short, the real question is: Are you positioned to make 2026 better on purpose?

Hope alone will not cut it. A weekly Scorecard plus IDS meetings will.

Why Hope Fails

Hoping for a better 2026 often leads to disappointing results, as many leaders have experienced. A proven operating system like EOS®provides the structure needed for clarity and execution.

Essential Plan Checks

Assess your 2026 strategy with these key questions:

• Is it fully documented?
• Does everyone understand and own it?
• Do employees feel valued and clear on expectations?
• Are they challenged, developed, and held accountable?

People crave clarity, the chance to win, and ways to contribute to the score.

Path to Your Best Year

Great leadership adopts a real operating system like EOS®, then aligns the team for the journey. At GYST Organizational Health, we specialize in EOS®Implementation to make this happen. Led by Professional EOS®Implementer Ted Williamson.

Too often, entrepreneurial companies find themselves in one of two extremes:

𝟭. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱:Marketing & Sales, Operations, and Finance operate in silos. They’re not aligned, communication is scarce, and accountability is foggy. Execution suffers.

𝟮. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀:Everyone is in everyone else’s lane. No one knows who owns what. Constant misfires, rework, and confusion. It 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 collaborative, but it’s actually chaotic.

𝟯. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁:When there’s a clear 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁, strong 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗲, and open/honest communication, you get healthy 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗽.

This is where 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 come to life. Each function has clarity on their seat, collaborates cross-functionally, and stays in sync with a regular cadence of 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟭𝟬 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.

The goal isn’t to eliminate overlap, it’s to create the 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 of overlap.
That’s what we call running on EOS.

If this resonates, it might be time to strengthen the Six Key Components of your business. Let’s talk.

Entrepreneurs, are you truly empowering others, or are you still doing everything yourself?

Common reasons:

– “It’s just easier if I do it.”
– “It’s cheaper if I do it.”
– “Everyone else is too busy.”
– “No one can do it as well as I can.”
– “I need to lead by example.”
– “No one cares about quality as much as I do.”
– “That’s the way it’s always been done around here.”

Here’s the truth: When you hold on, you rob others of growth opportunities, stifle creativity, and block better ways of working. You waste money and time, and the opportunity cost? Only you know how big that really is.

👉 Micro-doing is micro-managing.

The solution: Delegate and Elevate.

→Let go of what others can do better, faster, cheaper.
→Free yourself to be the Visionary: cutting new trails and creating the future.
→Elevate others so they may grow, and surprise you with their capabilities.

When you stop clinging and start trusting, everyone rises.
