This is why many militaries (including the US) now advocate Mission Command [1] for execution. "Subordinates, understanding the commander's intentions, their own missions, and the context of those missions, are told what effect they are to achieve and the reason that it needs to be achieved. Subordinates then decide within their delegated freedom of action how best to achieve their missions."
In this world, there is no way to have a tyrannical plan.

- wayeq 4y agoso basically OKRs?
- Ozzie_osman 4y agoMaybe. Depends how you do OKRs. OKRs are a process or mechanism. Mission command is a philosophy. The two dimensions you want to think about are "how much detail is top-down" and "how much detail is up-front", and depending on how you implement OKRs, you can turn the dial in any direction.
