The difference between a number that counts your team's work and a number that shows the change that work should cause, so all three of yours measure real progress.

"It felt like goal whiplash."Alison, on working under priorities that changed every week

Your host

Hi, I'm Alison.

In one of my own roles I worked directly alongside a CEO whose priorities changed every week. A new one would land before we had finished any of the ones already announced. It felt like goal whiplash, and eventually I lost the motivation to keep trying.

That loss did the real damage. Once people who care about their work burn out, it is very hard to bring them back.

Later I worked with teams running several projects at once and saw the same gap from the outside. Leadership would ask them to "improve X" without saying why it mattered or what number would count as success. When I took those questions back to leadership, they often didn't know how to set a target either. So I started running working sessions that helped leaders turn "we have to get better" into a goal with a purpose and a number. Once a goal had both, the teams had direction, and people put real effort behind it.

I've been coaching since 2017, and I'm a certified Professional OKR Coach. I built OKR Leader, my goal-setting software, after watching goal programs stall because the tools on offer were either built for huge enterprises or were spreadsheets nobody kept up to date.

Mandate Map is the hour I'd give every new leader before their first review. You finish the page before we log off, and your team knows what this quarter is for.

Common questions

Got a question?

I've been in my role for a while. Is this still for me?

Yes. The workshop is built around a new leader's first quarter, and the same four steps work for resetting the quarter you're in right now.

My boss hasn't told me what success looks like. Can I still pick a goal?

You're exactly who this workshop is for. You'll leave with a goal and three numbers you can bring to your boss as a proposal, and a boss who never defined success will appreciate a new leader who shows up with one.

Do I need to know a particular goal-setting method?

No. The workshop uses plain language: one goal, three numbers and a first move. If your company already runs a goal-setting process, such as quarterly Rocks in EOS, your Mandate Map works alongside it.

What if I don't know the starting value for one of my numbers?

That happens a lot. You set your targets during the workshop and fill in the missing starting value afterward. Part of the page is working out who can get you that number this week.

Will I have to share details about my company?

No. When people share their goal in the chat, we keep it general, something like "keep more of the customers we already have." Hot seats are for volunteers only.

What if I can't make it live, or I need a refund?

The recording goes into UPCoach after the workshop, so you can work through it on your own time. Tickets are non-refundable. If a scheduling conflict comes up, email support@okrleader.com and we'll move you to the next live workshop.

Does the workshop cover keeping the goal moving for the whole quarter?

The workshop gets you the goal, the numbers and a first move for this week. A weekly rhythm that keeps those numbers moving for 90 days is what my program, 90-Day LEADers, is for, and I'll tell you about it at the end. If your team already runs a weekly check-in, your page and the recording may be all you need right now.

I have a question that isn't here. How can I reach you?

Email support@okrleader.com and we'll get back to you.
