Debra Chantry-Taylor: How Much Time Do You Really Have To Do EOS Rocks?

from EOS for a Better Business, Better Life · host EOS Implementers Debra Chantry-Taylor, Adam Harris, business owners and experts!

In this week’s episode of Better Business, Better Life, host Debra Chantry-Taylor dives into one of the most common traps for business leaders, taking on too many priorities and finishing none. Drawing on her experience as a certified EOS Implementer, Debra breaks down the power of setting clear, focused quarterly priorities or “rocks.” She explains why most leaders only have about 65 hours per quarter to work on the business, and how spreading that time too thin leads to burnout and stalled progress. Through practical examples and relatable stories, Debra shows how to define true rocks (not boulders), write SMART goals, and block time to make meaningful progress. She also shares how integrating rocks into weekly meetings and scorecards keeps teams aligned and accountable. Whether you’re a visionary constantly chasing new ideas or a leader buried in the day-to-day, this episode will help you refocus on what truly moves the business forward, fewer priorities, done better.   CONNECT WITH DEBRA:         ___________________________________________         ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: ⁠[email protected] ⁠ ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/ ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/ ____________________________________________         FREE RESOURCES: ► ROCKS – Why You Don’t Get Them Done  ► How to Think & Build SMART Rocks      Episode 241 Chapters:    00:00 – Episode Introduction and Purpose   01:22 – Understanding the Concept of Rocks   01:38 – Time Management and Prioritisation   05:08 – Defining and Managing Rocks   13:58 – Writing SMART Rocks   14:10 – Practical Tips for Managing Rocks
