Episode notes
OKRs Foster Clarity and Autonomy
- The OKR technique creates clarity that fosters autonomy in teams and individuals.
- This clarity comes from explicit objectives and key results, not assumptions or guesswork.

- Insisting rigid separations between KRs and KPIs can hinder achieving the best outcomes.
