As a strategy coach and self-described "goal nerd," she explains the critical shift from activity-based goals to outcome-based objectives and how this approach drives meaningful progress in organizations. Lobkovich discusses practical applications of OKRs for status-quo challenging leaders and workplace rebels, offering real-world examples of how these frameworks create cultures where everyone can learn, grow, and achieve results. The conversation explores the fascinating intersection between OKRs and gamification principles, revealing how these complementary approaches can enhance engagement and loyalty.
