In This Episode

If your business depends on you for every decision, every approval, and every correction, you don't have a scalable company—you have a job with overhead.

In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews returning guest Brooke Lively about her new book, Scaling Law, and what it really takes to implement EOS inside a law firm. Brooke explains why many attorneys believe they are "different" and why they often operate as practices instead of businesses. The shift from practitioner to business owner requires systems, structure, and intentional leadership.

Adi and Brooke walk through the six EOS components—Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction—and show how each pillar builds on the others. They discuss common delegation mistakes, including abdicating responsibility without providing clarity, tools, or defined outcomes. Brooke shares a powerful example of multiple law firm partners using different client contracts—an operational risk that could easily be solved with a documented, centralized process.

The conversation reinforces a universal truth: without documented processes, clear accountability charts, and structured decision-making, businesses repeat the same problems. When systems are implemented and followed consistently—even 80% of the time—organizations gain traction, reduce chaos, and create companies that can run beyond the owner.
