37. EOS Is Great at Leading the Business, But It Doesn’t Teach You How to Lead Your People
Description
Want a self-managing team and a business that grows without you doing it all?
The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) is powerful for structure, clarity, and accountability — it helps you lead the business. But most owners and leaders discover a hard truth: EOS doesn’t teach you how to lead the people.
In this episode of Why Your Business Isn’t Growing (and how to fix it!), Brendan Rogers reveals the five failings of EOS that leave teams disengaged and growth stalled. Then he introduces the PEOPLE Operating System — the complete approach to lead both the business and the people inside it.
You’ll learn why structure alone won’t create commitment, how to connect accountability with motivation, and what real leadership looks like when systems and people work together.
In This Episode You’ll Discover How To …
- Recognise the gap between leading the business and leading the people
- Turn operational clarity into human capability
- Build accountability through motivation — not just metrics
- Strengthen trust, communication, and coaching inside your system
- Combine structure + people to create sustainable business growth
Key Quote

The PEOPLE Operating System helps you lead both — the business and the people.”
