Step-by-Step: How to Use OKRs to Become a Great Manager
We’ve all heard of Google’s infamous team goal-setting process “Objectives and Key Results” (OKRs).
More and more organizations continue to adopt this goal-setting methodology, and for good reason.
OKRs effectively help organizations stay aligned through connections made between the company, team, and personal goals.
The process of OKRs starts with executives setting company objectives, usually done by an annual, quarterly, or monthly timeline.
Once managers understand what the company is trying to achieve, they can set objectives for their teams that are clearly aligned with the bigger picture.
These team goals, which should be set collaboratively, then direct how team members will set their individual goals. Key results then hold employees accountable for their personal goals.
The idea behind OKRs is that the goals are ambitious enough never to be easily achieved but still rewarding enough to keep team members motivated.
Now that you have a basic understanding of OKRs, let’s dive in deeper and figure out how to set OKRs that are effective and bring real results to your team and your company.
