Right Person Right Seat™
The EOS® standard for having the right people in the right roles. ‘Right Person’ means they share your Core Values. ‘Right Seat’ means they GWC their role. Both must be true. You can have the right person in the wrong seat (painful but fixable) or the wrong person in any seat (eventually fatal).
In Plain English
The EOS® answer to every people problem: is this person a culture fit, and are they actually good at this job?
What it looks like in practice
A loyal early employee shares every Core Value but cannot keep up as controller. Moving them to a seat they Get, Want and have the Capacity for keeps a good person and fixes the role.
The common mistake
Keeping a right person in the wrong seat out of loyalty. It is unfair to them and to the team that works around the gap.
