How to Define The Right Milestones That Drive Math Improvement
Manage episode 497522942 series 2471185
In this episode, Jon Orr and Yvette Lehman unpack the difference between long-term objectives and short-term key results. Through a real coaching conversation, they explore how to define milestones that reflect real progress—even when the win is simply establishing a structure or doing what you said you’d do. Not all results have impact right away—and that’s okay.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The difference between long-term objectives and short-term key results
- Why short-term wins are sometimes structural—not just outcome-based
- How to define key results that align with your bigger goals
- Why documenting action (not just outcomes) matters in early stages
- How to avoid the trap of confusing big metrics with key milestones
