Strong results do not come from having more people.

They come from having the right people doing the right work in the right roles at the right time.

When someone is in the wrong seat, even a great person can struggle. Performance drops, decisions slow down, and the rest of the team ends up carrying the weight. When someone is in the right seat, you feel it immediately. Ownership increases, problems get solved faster, and the team builds momentum.

Getting to the “right people in the right seats” starts with clarity.

Leaders must be clear about what each role is truly responsible for and what success looks like. Vague job descriptions and unclear expectations make it easy for the wrong fit to remain in place and difficult for the right fit to thrive. Having a clear business framework helps guide organizations in aligning the right people to the right seats. EOS uses the GWC framework. Does the person get it, want it, and have the capacity to do it?

This requires honesty. The goal is not perfection. The goal is alignment. When roles are clear and people are matched to what the business needs most, performance becomes more consistent, accountability becomes healthier, and results become easier to repeat.
