EOS Implementer, Co-Founder

Chris Beer

Chris Beer is an EOS Implementer and co-founder of The 4Mores in Wilmette, Illinois. For nearly a decade she ran EOS from inside a dozen companies as their interim Integrator and COO before facilitating sessions. She also hosts The Practice Builder, a podcast for EOS Implementers, and advises Success.co.

Chris is an operator who became an EOS Implementer. For nearly a decade she sat inside a dozen companies running EOS as their in-house interim Integrator and COO — executing upon the business plan, making difficult people changes, keeping human energy aligned. She watched the system take hold in some companies and stall in others, across $10M–$200M businesses with 50 to 100+ people, staying 9 to 18 months at a time.

That seat taught her the unglamorous truths of running a company: most "issues" are people problems wearing a costume, and once you commit to wanting something different for your business, the small details decide whether EOS sticks or fades. She knows the difference between having a plan and making a plan reality, and she’s fluent in every amazing, yucky, awkward emotion that shows up in between. She’ll say so out loud, which somehow makes it easier.

Chris co-founded The 4Mores with Dan Zawacki, pairing his founder’s-eye view with her operator’s one — the two seats most leadership teams need translated for each other.

Chris also serves as a Strategic Advisor to Success.co, an EOS platform built to help teams make daily Traction a reality. She’s based in Wilmette, Illinois with her husband Matt and their two teenagers, Will and Kate, who keep them appropriately humble.
