The Team Check-in · 2026-05-31 · 48 min
In this episode of The Team Check-In, Emre sits down with Tim Newbold, founder of OKR Quickstart and a man who has helped over 70 CEOs implement OKRs effectively across their organizations. Tim makes a case that's rarely heard out loud: most OKR failures are not the team's fault but rather an executive's. From choosing the wrong problem to solve, to confusing values with goals, to the dreaded "set and forget" trap, Tim breaks down why so many OKR rollouts quietly stall after the first quarter. Along the way, he shares Domino's story of going from seven OKRs to a single one and achieving 33% sales growth, why cascading goals can be a mistake for some leaders, and much more! If you've ever wondered why your OKRs keep looking great on paper and dying in execution, this one's for you.
