How do managers introduce OKRs in their team?

When introducing OKRs to the team:

  • Explain the "why": Communicate how OKRs align individual and team efforts with organizational goals.
  • Provide training: Conduct workshops or share learning resources to help teams understand the OKR framework and the process.
  • Start with a pilot: Begin OKR implementation with a small team to test, gather feedback, and refine the process before scaling it across the organization.
  • Encourage collaboration: Involve team members in setting goals to promote ownership, alignment, and commitment to outcomes.
  • Be patient and supportive: Allow time for teams to adapt to the OKR framework, and offer continuous guidance, support, and constructive feedback.
