Competition for top talent has become increasingly fierce, and cool perks and rewards , high salaries, and unlimited PTO seem a simple way to win people over.

Managers, employees, and HR all agree : the typical formal appraisal process doesn’t work for multiple reasons: Feedback can be limited, inaccurate, or outdated.

The biggest reason for this is that your team will stop “shooting for the moon.” But more accurately, coupling the OKR and performance review can lead to overstated accomplishments, stunted innovation, and sand-bagging of goals. OKR goals work best when they stretch and push your people to become ambitious and self-driven.
