In conversations with HR leaders and managers, we consistently hear that the biggest gap between what managers <em>do<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and what they <em>want<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>&nbsp;to do<\/em> is coaching their team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what exactly does \u201cbeing a good coach\u201d mean for a manager? After all, it\u2019s pretty difficult to run 6AM workout drills in the workplace. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/okrs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OKRs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or Objectives and Key Results, come in. Here at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betterworks.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BetterWorks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we talk a lot about OKRs: they provide clarity, alignment and effective feedback. They\u2019re transparent, so they help individuals see the broader picture. They come from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">both <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">top down and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bottom up adoption. They can be aspirational and inspiring. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.betterworks.com\/papers\/manager_guide_to_okrs.docx\">5-step framework<\/a> for managers to think about while setting OKRs: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Coach to a target<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[tweet]Great managers set the vision for their team[\/tweet] and then have the team determine how best to achieve that vision. The OKR methodology can be used to help managers become better coaches by giving them a way to communicate their vision and facilitate how to define success through quantifiable key results.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you set big objectives for your team? Study yourself and study where your team needs to be. Instead of setting just any objectives, set good objectives that will move your team and the company forward. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions to ask:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the strategic initiatives of the company and how can my team align and contribute to them?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the biggest opportunities for my team next year?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the biggest gaps on my team?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Nurture skills<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great managers set long-term OKRs for their teams and help provide a roadmap to achieve those OKRs. In addition to assigning out OKRs, managers should dedicate one of their own goals to developing the team. As a coach, one of your key objectives should be building the right people and aligning their skills. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify what skills and expertise your team needs and as a coach, you need to make sure that you provide the opportunity to develop these skills. If you don\u2019t have one of those skills, start hiring for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions to ask:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What skills does my existing team have that separates them from the rest?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What skills does each of my team members need for the next level?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What skills do we need to unlock team productivity?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Instill will on your team<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motivation is a powerful driver. In 2014, less than one-third of U.S. workers were engaged in their jobs, with 51% disengaged and 17.5% actively disengaged. They perform without enthusiasm or care for work. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can you, as a manager, increase employee engagement? We believe that 50-60% of key results should come from the bottom up. When OKRs are driven from the top down <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> bottom up, employees become more engaged because there\u2019s active contribution at all levels. Everyone\u2019s a player. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions to ask:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I do to create ownership at the individual level? Am I allowing my team to own their own goals?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Am I encouraging audacious or aspirational goals to challenge<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> empower my direct reports? &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I create a culture where risk-taking is okay?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Recruit the team and support collaboration<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve your team\u2019s output by getting help from your team. Coaching is a team effort. One of the most effective ways to coach collaboratively is through regular goal reviews. Tom Lodes, Product Manager at Intuit, says that regular goal reviews are \u201cwhere the work gets done, where strategic initiatives gets converted into work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions to ask during goal reviews:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is this objective on track?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can the team and I help you achieve your objective?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has anything changed to either your prioritization or key results?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Take time to reflect <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting an OKR is easy, but setting a quality OKR that is good for the business requires experience. &nbsp;Good coaches continually work with their team to refine and improve their goals. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even after an OKR is marked \u201ccomplete,\u201d reflection is important. According to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/firstround.com\/review\/the-most-dangerous-leadership-traps-and-the-15-minute-daily-practice-that-will-save-you\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article from the First Round Review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Startup leaders can\u2019t afford to have low learning efficiency.
