About this listen
It’s time to take your business to the next level.
Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.
Their story is not unusual. The challenges they were facing are common, predictable, and solvable. Get A Grip tells the story of how Swan Services resolves its issues by implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System. With the help of EOS, Eileen, Vic, and their leadership team master a set of managerial tools that allow them to get traction on their business, grow the business, and deliver better results for clients.
The story of Swan Services is a fable, but the Entrepreneurial Operating System is very real and has helped thousands of businesses worldwide. A complete entrepreneurial toolkit, EOS has helped thousands of businesses get to where they want to be.
In Get a Grip, learn how Swan Services leaders learned to develop and commit to a clear vision, establish focus, build discipline, and create a healthier and more cohesive team.
With characters and situations created from collective business experiences and stories, Get a Grip is a fable that will ring true for entrepreneurial leaders the world over and guide them to get their companies on track.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Starts off salesy but then starts to get the point across
The concept is actually very good and does help put things into context even if some of the points are a little too obvious. Overall worth listening too

Great book and story but the narrator
Loved the book and the way it flowed but the narrator needs to slow down and pause more. Too often sections and sentences just flowed into one another making it difficult to absorb the info before trying to process where you were.

Worse narration I have come across
I couldn’t listen to more than 5 minutes of this narration the sucking of air in before starting each sentence is so annoying I’ll have to buy the book as I can’t listen to this!

Good points but dragged on.
Struggled to finish, but I did. Decent points made but quite repetitive. The narrator is boring. Would recommend reading a summary rather than listening to this.
