Suppose you work for an organization or corporation. At least once in your professional life, you might experience a lack of leadership or direction (unless you’re very lucky).
The problem with a lack of guidance is that when we can’t see the big picture or understand the value of our work, we feel demotivated, frustrated, and eventually leave. That’s why many companies use the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) methodology to ensure everyone knows what they should be working on and feels a sense of accomplishment besides working towards the same goal.
One great example is Google, which adopted the OKR methodology as a core practice to their management and work culture. And even though the tech giant popularized this framework, the OKR methodology was created by Andrew Grove, the man behind Silicon Valley’s growth and former Intel CEO. As you can imagine, it didn’t take long for most organizations to use the OKR methodology, including Microsoft, Twitter, and Tesla.
