I think the new model is mission to metrics. A lot of google searches for the term turns out garbage, but this works closely: https://www.ycombinator.com/library/3k-what-s-the-second-job-of-a-startup-ceo https://www.ycombinator.com/library/3k-what-s-the-second-job... Basically, the CEO makes it clear what they want to do and what success looks like. (Mission, vision) But they also break that down into measurable things. The people doing the job can say stuff like our goal/mission is to do X. To do X, we need ABC. My job is doing C, and it's measurable when c0 and c1 happens.
