Do your directs secretly hate OKRs?

(but only do them because they don’t have a choice?)

  • They’re forced to choose between their performance goals & team OKR.
  • The misalignment sabotages the team’s ability to accomplish its goals.
  • You feel guilty that you’re failing both your team and the company.
  • They’re afraid that if team fails to accomplish it’s OKR, they’ll get poor appraisals.
  • Directs whose work doesn’t directly drive OKRs feel excluded.
  • They’re frustated that OKRs are more about reporting than driving outcomes.

Hi! I'm Mukom

Founder
The Chief Excellence Officer® Academy

In 2015, as a frontline manager just like you, I introduced OKRs to my team, so  I understand …

  • the tension of balancing ambitious team OKRs with fair and achievable performance goals.
  • the frustration of resistance to ambitious OKRs for a reason no one will say aloud (linked performance appraisal).
  • the motivational mess resulting from HR’s ignorantly tying performance appraisals directly to OKRs.

But … after 30+ cycles, I’ve used OKRs to

  • transform my team into the company’s model for operational excellence.
  • create an e-learning program used by 4700+ engineers/month from 80+ countries

The Zero⭕️ → 🟢OKR Individual Contributors’ Companion stems from that experience and  5,000+ 1:1 coaching sessions with directs.
