Management should communicate at a high level the direction the company is going in and why. They need to set a vision, explain why it's good, then break that down into larger targets. Workers underneath management should come up with specific ideas for meeting those targets. They should all meet and then align on the specific ideas to implement. I think this doesn't happen because explaining why you're going in a certain direction is hard. Most startups don't really know if the direction they are going is correct and are just trying a bunch of things. This doesn't lend itself to management putting themselves out there and as such, try to push some of that work out to normal employees through OKRs and trying to make them more "autonomous". At the end of the day, there's only so much under our control and the OKRs don't help.
