What Is an EOS Level 10 Meeting?
The Level 10 Meeting is a weekly, 90‑minute leadership team meeting in the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). It follows a strict agenda that keeps everyone focused, surfaces issues quickly, and drives accountability.
Why Run Level 10 Meetings?
- Creates a consistent rhythm for solving problems.
- Provides visibility into key business metrics and quarterly priorities (Rocks).
- Ensures everyone leaves with clear, actionable to‑dos.
- Builds team health through shared good news and honest discussion.
How to Use This Template
- Before the Meeting: Gather your scorecard, Rocks list, and last week’s to‑dos. Distribute the agenda to attendees.
- During the Meeting: Follow each section in order. Record status updates, issues, decisions, and new to‑dos directly in the template.
- After the Meeting: Share the completed minutes with the team, and track to‑do completion during the week.

Tips for Effective Level 10 Meetings
- Start on time – end on time. The first 25 minutes are for reporting; the rest is for IDS.
- Stay in your lane. Move tactical updates to the scorecard or to‑do list; strategic issues go to IDS.
- Capture every decision as an action. Assign an owner and a due date.
- Rate the meeting honestly. Anything under 8 means discuss how to improve next week.
