- 31. MktgProduct Bizdev Core Purpose Vision Company OKRs Team OKRs Team OKRs Team OKRs Our Core Values & Principles We had a gap between our 10 year goal (vision) and two week goals. That’s why we needed an additional layer: OKRs (Objective and Key Results)
- 32. @flinc, @m_ic How we set goals - Quarterly! Cascaded: company - team - personal. - 100% transparent. - Inspiring and ambitious objectives - Failure welcome! (as long as we learn from mistakes). - Not coupled to bonuses!! - Part of our weekly meetings. - Quarterly 1on1s.

- 39. @flinc, @m_ic How we fire “Which of my people, if they told me they were leaving for a similar job at a peer company, would I fight hard to keep at flinc?” Managers, if an employee is not on your list, give him better feedback (don’t fire him)!
- 41. @flinc, @m_ic How I told you it is How it really is The perfect world is not realistic. Actually we don’t want it, as it means we are standing still. We need conflicts, as long as they make us better and are constructive. This is up to you!
