Stop Railroading Your Teams and Start With Sandboxing
Maarten did you ever hear of the (probably apocryphal) Cold War story of the Soviet defector who went back to the USSR bec he was unmanned by the multitudes of choices for every retail item? :-)
No, I don't think so!
Great anecdotes & stories here, Maarten - It really brings these concepts to life.
And immediately makes me think of ways how I can enable these in my day-to-day work...
Thanks for the kind words! :
Strategy and OKRS are basically about providing (enabling) constraints so people can make effective decisions in the moment! :)
It's doing the hard work of thinking and deciding what not to do, so the people doing the work can decide what to do without cognitive overload.
Kudos for getting distributed in the Productboard newsletter, Maarten! Huge!
Oh, I’ll delete this after you fix it but I think your “decisions are front loaded” bullet needs tweaking.
Fun read, btw.
