A good point around a team owning a team-level OKR completely (as much as possible), ensuring the team remains motivated to hit and exceed a target they can influence. However my experience is that OKRs should in part at least, ladder up from team to dept to company. This is how pulling in the same direction manifests.

Fail Fast, Succeed Better: Iteration as the Key to Success 🚀 We often talk about ideas, strategies, and plans, but without action, these remain theoretical. True transformation begins when we put these ideas into practice continuously, intentionally, and iteratively. This is where Anders Ericsson’s theory of deliberate practice comes into play. His research shows that progress doesn’t come from mere repetition but from thoughtful repetition and continuous improvement. Each iteration provides lessons, refines methods, and moves us closer to excellence. This process not only transforms our skills but also our approach to personal development. The numbers speak for themselves: • 10,000 hours: According to Ericsson’s research, it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve exceptional expertise in any field. That’s about 20 hours of practice per week for 10 years. But it’s not just any practice: it’s the intentional effort, guided by feedback and constant adjustments, that leads to mastery. • 60%: Studies have shown that employees who implement regular feedback cycles and iteration see a 60% improvement in their performance over a year. • 25% faster: Companies that adopt iterative processes, such as in agile methods, speed up their innovation cycles by 25%, demonstrating the power of continuous feedback and quick adjustments. Why is iteration so powerful? Because every attempt, even imperfect, is an opportunity to learn. By taking action, trying, and sometimes failing, we sharpen our skills and make progress. And it’s not the number of attempts that matters, but the quality of the deliberate effort. The key lies in constant feedback on our actions and adjusting to improve with each cycle. 3 steps to take action effectively: 1. Break down your goals into small, precise, and measurable steps. 2. Incorporate regular feedback on your progress to adjust your approach. This is where the true power of iteration lies. 3. Set realistic deadlines, but most importantly, stay committed to deliberate and intentional effort. Remember, excellence is never achieved in one stroke. It’s a continuous process of trials, adjustments, and refinement. Each iteration is an opportunity to become better. So, what are you waiting for to take the first step? The path to mastery begins with action, guided by constant and intentional effort. #Action #Productivity #DeliberatePractice #Growth #Leadership #ContinuousImprovement

When teams move in the same direction, they don’t just make progress—they make history. Alignment in any organization isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s the driving force behind results that move the needle. Patrick Lencioni once said, “Any organization can dominate their space, break new barriers if they can get their people rowing in the same direction.” And he’s right. Alignment goes beyond just agreeing on strategy—it’s about building a foundation of shared purpose, vision, and coordinated action. In agile organizations, alignment brings even greater power to Scrum and Kanban teams. When teams work toward the same goals, sprints become sharper, backlogs become more focused, and blockers get resolved faster. Scrum teams prioritize and tackle the work that moves the organization forward, while Kanban teams can leverage flow to deliver value at an optimized pace. In both cases, alignment ensures that every step, sprint, and release delivers targeted impact, keeping momentum high and reducing wasted effort. When people understand the "why" behind what they do, they’re not just working hard; they’re working with intentionality and impact. Likewise, When everyone sees the bigger picture, their work starts to serve not just their own team but the entire organization. This is where real collaboration thrives. Aligned teams focus their efforts in sync. Small, consistent actions start to add up, amplifying each other’s impact. Progress moves faster, and every milestone is a shared victory. Alignment is what turns ambition into results, and separate efforts into unstoppable momentum. Where have you seen the power of alignment make a difference in your work?

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗞𝗥𝘀: 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 As an Agile coach, I’ve seen how OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) can focus organizations and deliver results. However, their implementation requires addressing key challenges. Here are common problems I’ve encountered and how to overcome them: 1) Not committing to the calendar: Teams often fail to set firm deadlines for finalizing and reviewing OKRs. Without clear milestones, progress stalls. Setting an OKR cycle with specific dates ensures momentum and timely adjustments. 2) Lack of a tool for accessibility: OKRs scattered across emails or documents hinder transparency. A central tool for viewing and updating OKRs keeps teams aligned and on track. 3) No clear owner for each OKR: Without ownership, accountability fades. Assigning a clear owner for each OKR ensures focus and provides a go-to person for issues. 4) Lack of the right support team: Managing OKRs successfully requires dedicated support, such as an OKR Shepherd or Coach. This role ensures OKRs are aligned and consistently supported across the organization. 5) Unclear org-wide goal: OKRs must align with broader company goals. Without clear alignment, teams may pursue uncoordinated efforts. Defining a company-wide objective provides focus for team-level OKRs. 6) Not setting enough bottom-up goals: Frontline contributors offer valuable insights. When at least half the OKRs come from the bottom up, the goals are more powerful and engaging. Involving frontliners boosts commitment. 7) Dictating OKRs: Top-down OKRs fail without team input. Engaging the team early leads to better motivation and ownership. Collective agreement is critical for buy-in. 8) Not tracking with calendar dates: Regularly reviewing OKRs with set dates prevents them from being ignored. Hard deadlines keep teams accountable and allow for necessary adjustments. 9) Not being intellectually honest: Honest assessment of OKR progress is essential. Transparency helps identify areas for improvement and ensures real progress. 10) Not sharing OKRs with the team: Sharing OKRs and inviting feedback enhances them, ensuring alignment and engagement throughout the organization.
