The Team Check-in

The 10-Point Scorecard for Choosing OKR Software

In this solo episode, I walk through the OKR software evaluation framework Bora Ünlü and his team built after months of hands-on testing. You'll get the one decision that halves the market before you sit through a single demo, the two criteria that carry more than a quarter of the whole scorecard, and some key insights into what ensures the OKR software of your choice is widely adopted.

Why Your Competency Framework Never Makes It Into Reviews

In this solo episode of The Team Check-In, Emre tackles one of the most common frustrations in performance management: the competency framework that gets defined, written up, and then never makes it into the review itself. Almost every company has one. Very few put it to work. Emre breaks down the three reasons frameworks get built and then ignored, how to map competencies to role families rather than individual job titles, why behavioral anchors are the part most frameworks get wrong, and how to design a rating scale your managers will actually use.

The Executive's Role in Making OKRs Actually Work feat. Tim Newbold

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. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Team Check-In, Emre sits down with Dr. Joerg Storm, a leader who spent 12 years managing large-scale IT operations across Japan and China, holds a PhD in intercultural project management, and now lectures on intercultural communication at a university in Frankfurt. Joerg takes us inside what it really means to lead teams across cultural boundaries. From navigating the implicit communication styles of East Asia to managing complex stakeholder environments where German precision meets Japanese consensus and American directness. If you lead diverse teams, manage cross-border projects, or simply want to become a more globally aware leader, this one is for you. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
