OKR or Objective and Key Results, is a popular leadership technique that helps organizations set, communicate, and track their goals.
It is a holistic approach towards management of goals and performance levels of employees at every level of the enterprise. It helps in creating better alignment and engagement around measurable goals, which are usually set every quarter.
OKR is composed of two components:
- Objective; which is qualitative and defines what one wants to achieve
- Key results; which are quantitative and define how you will measure progress towards the objective
