There's some idealism, but the rub with OKRs is that it's obvious that it requires a culture of individual empowerment, at least it always has been from my perspective. It's been a baffling reality of my own startup experience that OKRs get introduced by management teams that aren't willing to truly delegate decisions to individual teams (and perhaps individuals); despite the fact that the entire framework they just introduced, requires this in order to have any real value. After all, what's the value in a tool aimed at providing alignment in decision-making, if nobody actually gets to make decisions? So yeah, idealism, but of a form that's worth aiming for.
