6 Signs of Impending OKR Failure and how frontline managers can prevent & mitigate them.

Based on my experience from 30 cycles of OKRs in 7 years. 1. Boss-driven moving targets

The 😩

"My boss keeps changing the targets, so I never know what I'm supposed to be working on."

The 💊

NEVER change a KR target

OKRs are a team-sport driven by both data and trust.

Checkin to #OKRForum2022

Looking forward to learning a lot. @meetfelipe is up first with

"Who do some companies success with #OKRs while others fail?"

Note: Felipe is militantly "outcomes over outputs" "OKRs are plumbing as well as poetry" - @meetfelipe

Plumbing is messy and takes time, not as 'cool' as poetry. So most organisations neglect plumbing.

Plumbing means changing the traditional ways of working to suit OKRs.

Two people just can't seem to get along at work.

X: "All Y does is send emails instead of doing "real work"
Y: "X is too bureaucratic, everything must be a process"

How Cultural Intelligence (CQ) can wreck or supercharge a team.
(inspired by the @QuanticSchool class) Culture is the set of
⚈ values
⚈ norm &
⚈ customs,
which a group of people share.

It's why you look at this photo and think
⚈ "India"
⚈ "Africa"
⚈ "Arab"

Or "cultural appropriation" when the "wrong" person is wearing the dress. Image

High-performing teams are great at

(a) Disagreeing
(b) Decision-making

It seems logical that (a) tends to be the enemy of (b).
One explanation for this is the "Smart vs Stupid Fallacy"

#thread What do we likely think & react when others disagree with our views?

a) They're not as smart as we are (stupid)
→ Therefore: lecture them

b) They agree but have a personal agenda (evil)
→ Therefore: counter-attack

This is the "Smart vs Stupid Fallacy"

How to Kill OKRs Before They Take-Off

(1) Complicate them
(2) Lean heavily on coaches & consultants
(3) Implement them because Google does
(4) Lower the quality bar b/c "baby steps"
(5) Fight for executive buy-in, ignore managers' buy-in How to Kill OKRs Before They Take-Off
1 /5 Overcomplicate them

⚈ Start with multiple levels
- Company OKRs
- Team OKRs
- Individual OKRs
⚈ Mandate perfect alignment of all OKRs
⚈ "Supercharge" everything with OKR-software
⚈ "No team left behind".
