## Summary

Joel and Luke Wittenbraker, father and son leaders at MacTech On-Site, explain how they implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to bring structure to their 40-year-old machining business. They detail the six components of the EOS 'pizza pie'—vision, data, people, process, issues, and traction—and describe specific tools like the Vision Traction Organizer (VTO) and the L10 meeting agenda. The duo highlights how these systems improved accountability, clarified roles through an accountability chart, and fostered a culture of open and honest communication.
