Traction is written for a very specific target market. It’s for entrepreneurial business owners and leadership teams of small to midsize companies who want help and are open-minded, frustrated, willing to be vulnerable, open, real, and authentic.

What also makes Traction unique is that it teaches a holistic, all-encompassing, complete system (EOS®, The Entrepreneurial Operating System), whereas most books typically focus on one component of a business or symptom. Traction goes to the root.
