Running a company is complicated. Everyone has different priorities and conceptions of success. Left to their own devices, people default to a sort of mob rule where only the strongest personalities get their way, and often work in opposition. Things get murky, inefficient, and ultimately, deadly for the business.
So how do we keep alignment?
Here at Turntide, we rely on a system called “OKRs,” which stands for “Objective / Key Result.” Simply put, an objective is a goal for the business, and a key result is a measurable amount of progress toward that goal.
It’s a simple concept, right? No way it could go wrong.
I invited some experts onto the show to share the finer points of OKRs, about where they fail, and what makes a good one. Perhaps, in order to understand what they are, we should take a look at they came from.

We've all had terrible managers. Hopefully, most of us have had some great ones, too.
On this T-Rex Radio, we'll ask people about the qualities that motivated their best managers, and the faults that made their worst managers turn their jobs intolerable.
Guests include Mike Evans, founder of Grubhub and Fixer.

The story of every successful startup includes critical turning points that require challenging adaptations to win their markets. Turntide faced that moment in 2022 when it became clear that taking the company to the next level would require a wholesale transformation, from an organization that chases sales to one that develops products that fit customers' most important needs. This episode of T-Rex Radio is a very candid story of how Turntide implemented Marty Cagan's "Empowered" model, and arrived to 2023 a very different company from the year before.

Values listed on a poster on the wall are one thing. Actually working by them every day is quite another. In this episode, host and Chief People Officer Senia Maymin speaks with three of our engineers about Turntide’s values. From the surprise they felt when discovering how seriously we take them, to learning what they mean and look like, to finding value and growth in incorporating them into their work and lives, they share their experiences in using the values to be better engineers.

A brief introduction to servant leadership at Turntide as we kick off a series of episodes on the topic.

In this episode, Paul, Yvonne, and Ryan go deep on the how, what, and why of Turntide‘s value of open communication.
