Get A Grip cover

A tale of revitalization, Get A Grip illustrates how Swan Services overcomes stagnation through the Entrepreneurial Operating System, guiding leaders to reclaim their vision.

In Get A Grip, Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower confront the stagnation of their company, Swan Services, after years of steady growth. Frustrated by a lack of progress, they find themselves in a cycle of blame and inaction. Despite their hard work, it seems that their efforts yield diminishing returns, leaving them questioning the direction of their business. The story reflects a common plight among entrepreneurs who, despite their dedication, struggle to navigate the complexities of running a successful enterprise.

As the narrative unfolds, Eileen and Vic discover the transformative power of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). With the assistance of this comprehensive toolkit, they work to establish a clear vision and foster a cohesive team dynamic. The book illustrates how they learn to prioritize focus and discipline, ultimately revitalizing their company culture and operational effectiveness. The characters and scenarios are crafted from real-world business experiences, making the lessons relatable and applicable to other leaders facing similar challenges.

Get A Grip serves as both a narrative and a guide, demonstrating that the obstacles faced by Swan Services are not unique and can be overcome. By embracing the principles of EOS, Eileen, Vic, and their team embark on a journey of renewal, proving that with the right tools and mindset, any business can regain its momentum and thrive in a competitive landscape.

"Gino Wickman's first book Traction, describing his Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), is already one of the great improvement game plans for business owners in America. Here, in his new brainstorm with coauthor Mike Paton, he takes entrepreneurial readers through a single story to show how every advantage of implementing EOS can actually become a practical reality in their own businesses. I would absolutely read both books together." --Dan Sullivan, Founder of Strategic Coach(R) "Over the years I've heard countless testimonials from entrepreneurs who swear by Gino Wickman's first book, Traction, but only after reading Get A Grip did I see clearly how implementing his Entrepreneurial Operating System could truly transform a business and put it on the road to greatness. This book will change your company--and your life." --Bo Burlingham, Editor-at-Large of Inc. magazine, Author of Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big
