Leading Goal Setting and OKRs for Managers

Teams drift when they lack clear goals, and managers often set targets that are vague, unrealistic or disconnected from the wider strategy. This course teaches leaders to set sharp, meaningful goals and to use objectives and key results to focus and align their teams. Participants learn to cascade strategy into team level goals that people understand, own and pursue.

What you will be able to do

Apply the objectives and key results method at team level.
Translate broad organisational aims into specific team goals.
Involve the team in shaping goals to build ownership.
Track progress and hold regular goal review conversations.
