The 7 Critical Needs
Everything You Need to Drive Healthy: From the Leadership Team to the Front Lines, Using Just the Tools of EOS.
Why Healthy Matters
Healthy Matters.
You know EOS builds healthy leadership teams. What about the rest of the organization?
How do you align human energy?
You can’t get everyone rowing in the same direction if you can’t see their oars.
How do you measure “Healthy”?
You can’t drive Healthy without Healthy Data. You must inspect what you expect.
“The health of an organization is actually more important than simply being smart.”
— Patrick Lencioni
A New Lens
You don’t need new tools, just a new lens.
EOS already gives you everything you need. The 7 Critical Needs framework simply helps you see how the existing tools meet, or miss, the needs of your people. When the EOS tools are used with the 7 Critical Needs in mind, Healthy and Smart balance, just as Gino Wickman and Patrick Lencioni intended.
The Framework
The 7 Critical Needs
Built on the universal needs of every employee.
01
To Belong
When belonging is missing, people protect themselves. When it’s present, they protect the mission.
02
To Believe
People must know what you’re asking them to buy in to. When they believe, they commit.
03
To Be Accountable
People do their part when they know what’s expected and are given ownership of their roles.
04
To Be Measured
People disengage in the absence of clear, fair measurement.
05
To Be Heard
When people stop speaking up, truth disappears — and performance follows.
06
To Be Developed
Development isn’t just about promotions; it’s about purpose and progress.
07
To Be Balanced
Balance sustains performance. Burnout destroys it.
