While the article may be good at explaining organizational goal setting, personally I f*g hate anything about this HR bullshit. It's simple: make goals, do them. Don't overcomplicate and annoy people who actually do smth compared to those that just talk.
- derefr 4y agoIt is almost always the people who "just talk" (managers) that are being measured by OKRs, though. It's just that these managers often respond by relaying their OKRs to their teams and making them constantly-aware-of and responsible-for achieving them, rather than having the OKR be something private to the executive level that informs the manager's decisions, while they continue to run the team the way they would without OKRs.
- Keyframe 4y agoYou’d probably be faced with ‘but why are we doing this?’ from the levels ‘below’. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t.
- TideAd 4y agoYeah, personally I like to know what the team & I are being evaluated on. I've been in the opposite situation, where there are priorities and goals that aren't communicated to me until way too late, and I ended up wasting a lot of time on stuff that didn't matter.
- keredson 4y agoThat's in theory. In practice I knew of no ICs w/o OKRs assigned to them.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoI don't know what you mean by assigned to the IC, but at my last job our team's ICs wrote the OKRs for our team.
