Loved this book - I recommend reading this first you ...

Reviewed in Canada on March 29, 2018

Loved this book - I recommend reading this first you are considering the Traction system, so you can get an idea of how it might solve some problems (or not) for you. Then get Traction to get the actual guide. You definitely see the books that influenced the authors in the pages - Rockafeller Habits, 7 Habits, etc, but this book ties it together into a coherent system that is much simpler than at least Rockafeller.

A fabulous tale of EOS Implementation

Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2020

This book "Get A Grip" is the first book I've read about the EOS, followed by the TRACTION book. "Get A Grip" has not only narrated in vivid detail the tale of an EOS Implementation in a fictional company, but also succinctly explained every one of the six parts of the EOS as well as each one of the 20 tools used in the whole process. I am really awed by the simplicity, pragmatism and the enormous power of the EOS as the way of how any business should be run. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and am quite enthused about becoming a proponent of EOS for entrepreneurial businesses.

Great book to make EOS real

Really enjoyed Get a Grip after reading Traction, as reading the EOS methodology in story form helped make it real for me.

great story around EOS Traction system

Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2014

EOS looks a lot like Verne Harnish's Gazelles system but adds an extra little bit. I read this book before Traction, but after doing a 2-hr session with Mike Payton at MIT.

It describes the EOS system well, but also adds some of the real-life issues you will deal with while implementing it.

Very useful.

Raconté sous la forme d'une histoire, ce livre est super intéressant et les outils EOS sont simples.

Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2021

Ce livre raconte l'histoire d'une entreprise qui éprouve des difficultés de gestion. Un consultant d'EOS les prends en charge et les introduit à la gestion d'une entreprise via le système EOS.
Bien détaillé et très facile à lire.
Le principe de gestion et les outils EOS sont très simple. Je compte bien implanter EOS dans mon entreprise.

There are other business books out there, but this one hit the spot for me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2018

This isn't rocket science - fortunately. Get a Grip is one of those books that uses a fictitious case study so as to draw out all the learnings that the book is aiming to teach. The person who recommended it to me said that I'd recognise each and every character in the book as someone in the business, and he was right.

It's an easy read, and whilst it has it's own nomenclature, if you've read any other business development books you'll be able to transpose certain concepts/names/descriptions. The trick isn't recognising the things that are going on/wrong, or the tools used to fix them; it's physically doing stuff about it.

I decided to get the entire team (we're small) a copy of the book, and then to engage with a business coach to ensure we check in regularly to hit our rocks (milestones). It's a good book if you're getting to a stage of feeling overwhelmed by it all, and want a direction or pathway to go down. There are other books out there, but this one hit the spot for me.

A useful read

My employer is starting on the journey of EOS.

I found the book useful and insightful. However there were too many acronyms that weren't expanded enough times ... I didn't discover what V/TO was for a long time after seeing it, and quickly forgot what IDS stood for.

3.5 Stars

A good book for any business owners whose business has stalled and how to get the right staff in the right positions to help it to the next level. By using a fabled company it helps the reader to understand the examples given.

Worth the read

Eher ein Roman

Reviewed in Germany on March 5, 2022

Get a Grip, will im Grunde das EOS System näher bringen. Es werden aber leider nicht alle Module angesprochen oder erläuter, was das EOS System zu bieten hat.

Die Schreibweise erinnert eher an ein Roman, als an einem Lehrbuch.

Um erste Berührungspunkte zu haben, im EOS kann ich das Buch anraten. Ungeeignet für jene, die schon tiefer in der Materie sind.

Top Buch.
Erklärt auf spannende und einfache Weise die Grundzüge der operativen Unternehmenssteuerung.
Gute und einfache Darstellungen, kann man schön im eigenen Unternehmen oder beim Kunden anwenden.
Glaube gerade vielen KMU fehlen genau die im Buch beschriebenen Tools.
