𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬, don’t you think? The OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) framework, which was developed by Andy Grove and popularised by John Doerr, is a fantastic example of how clear and measurable goals can drive both business success and personal growth. When leaders focus on specific, actionable objectives, they create a roadmap that not only encourages execution and accountability but also inspires their teams. This isn’t just about pushing teams to hit targets; it’s about instilling a sense of purpose and direction. When everyone knows what they’re aiming for, it transforms the way they work together. So, how about you? What’s your approach to goal-setting in your own journey? Have you found any frameworks or strategies that resonate with you? Share it in the comments.
