Episode notes

"I fundamentally believe in building companies differently for the long haul," he says. "There's a mechanism by which you can do it in the early days versus the mid days." He thinks we're focused on too many things and doing too much performative play as leaders. But I also think it's a lack of technology and tooling, so people don't have the right insights or that sort of thing.

Jason and Eiso share their love-hate relationship with OKRs and discuss the pedantic nature of setting objectives and how they ultimately help to align and empower organizations. They talk about setting and tracking goals, the often performative nature of OKRs, and the dangers of abstracting oneself away from the product you’re building.
