Traction Book Summary

[@JonathanBennett84]

I've watched hundreds of book summaries in my life and this is one of the best delivered that I've ever seen. Nice job!!

[@seanrosensteel]

Wow thanks so much for your kind words, Jonathan! Really appreciate it and glad you got value from the summary.

[@Daniel-yt5pd]

I’ve watched just a handful of book summaries and this is definitely the most clear delivery! Way to do it brother, you are adding value! ❤ Be Blessed

Thanks for making this book way easier to understand.

[@seanrosensteel]

You're welcome Sudhan! Glad you enjoyed the summary 👍

[@goldbargpropiedades4134]

YES!!!! This presentation was so clear and it got me so excited about the framework that I just purchased the book!! It will take a month to get to Argentina but I will eagerly and proactively wait for it by starting to think about the vision, processes and rocks. I inherited a 40 year old tiny family owned real estate firm and relaunching it from scratch (3rd generation broker here!) with new identity, new people, new tech (same core values, though, so those will be easy to spell out)... and this book is exactly what I was looking for.... what a thrill!!!

[@seanrosensteel]

Excited for you to start the journey! Hope the book comes sooner than expected 😊

[@osmaraguirre1867]

What s great summary, prontuario of the book. I am ready to dive deep in it.

[@michaelcrider4585]

Appreciate your comment, Honey! 🙏

Thanks for this! It’s so appreciated that you included the PDF of the mindmap.

[@thevintagegypsyjourney5771]

Love this presentation. Our leadership team works by Traction. I have to say, as a Corporate Trainer and Process Developer, I did laugh a couple of times and now feel like a proud "process nerd". I love discovery, mapping and designing best practices for our processes. It's like cleaning out a cluttered closet. I guess most folks hate that too, LOL. Thanks so much for a great presentation!

[@seanrosensteel]

Nicely done! Fellow process nerd here 👍 I believe the universe works as a system, so why shouldn’t companies work like that too?

[@jeremesmith9266]

I’m a process person too (Lean, Six Sigma), and I feel the EXACT same way, lol!

[@ilamalihilustan22]

Is there a better book or system than Traction or EOS in your opinion?

[@isaactweneboah-koduah1975]

Excellent delivery with a very deep understanding of the issues in the book and how to really apply it in real life. Thank you for your time

Hey Isaac thanks for taking the time to watch the summary! Your kind words are appreciated 🙏

[@investomation]

Great delivery, love the concept of branches! Just put this system up on our Trello board, going to grab the book as well. Definitely interested in trying it for our rental business.

[@user-wd8ld1my8c]

Great summary. Thanks!

[@seanrosensteel]

You’re welcome E!

[@dannymongebiz]

Excellent summary, eager to read the whole book

[@DandyNumber4]

Sean, that was fantastic - I was looking for a concise, yet fuller overview of EOS than I could find elsewhere. As someone else said, you CRUSHED this! I am interviewing with a company that follows this operating system and hadn't heard of it before. Thanks for helping me prep and I look forward to the opportunity to use EOS in my new role :-)

[@seanrosensteel]

Appreciate your kind remarks, John! Best of luck in your new role and I'm excited for you to experience EOS 🙌

[@rebeccaolmos5340]

I just ordered the books, thanks a lot for the information.

[@AttorneyArkady]

Excellent. What software allows you to cast the whiteboard and present it like that ? Really cool

[@seanrosensteel]

Thanks for the kind words! It was a software called iMindMap, but they were recently acquired by a company called Ayoa. While Ayoa offers a mindmap solution, last time I checked they did NOT offer the ability to present like this (which is super disappointing). Be sure to check in with them before purchasing a subscription if that's a must-have feature for you :0)

[@adamdecaul2457]

Loved your review best book review ever seen need to look at others you have. Happy found your page. Is the PDF still available when I click the link says page not found :(

[@seanrosensteel]

Appreciate your kind words Adam! The link in the description has been updated, so you should be able to download the mindmap PDF without any issues. Enjoy!

[@RobertPlank]

Wow, this was really eye-opening! I loved learning about the 6 key components of EOS: vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction. It’s interesting how everything can connect back to these points. The idea of an accountability chart to sort out people issues is smart-it makes sense to tackle the tricky stuff first. Plus, I never thought of using a scorecard for tracking key numbers weekly instead of just looking at monthly profits. It feels like that would really keep you on top of things! Also, the IDS method for solving problems seems super helpful-identifying the real issue before jumping into discussions can save so much time. I can’t wait to try these ideas out!

[@dushsum]

Thanks David and greetings from Dallas, TX! I made this with iMindMap software, but I'm not sure it's available anymore. I believe they were acquired by a company called Ayoa last year and from what I understand, Ayoa's version of the software does NOT include the ability to present it. Worth emailing them to see if they've added the functionality 😉

An excellent summary of the book Sean. I'm still working my way through it...and may just skip to the "Getting Started" section and start implementing. Thank you!

[@seanrosensteel]

Thanks for the kind words, Jude! I love reading books from a "high level" first to get a sense of where the author is taking me. Then, if it's relevant enough, the right fit, and the right time, I then create a plan and go through with a fine-tooth comb while implementing. I'd encourage you to continue reading cover to cover before committing - just my $.02! Glad you enjoyed the summary and thanks again for the encouragement!
