How to use this sheet
- Write the objective first, with no numbers: where you want to go, and by when.
- Add 1 to 5 key results: how you will know you are getting there. Each one measurable, each a little uncomfortable.
- Add the initiatives: what you will actually do. They are a guess, and you change them if the key results do not move.
- Go down the criteria and tick each open box your draft meets. Shaded boxes do not apply. An open box left unticked is the line to rewrite.
The PDF is fillable: open it in a real reader (Acrobat, Preview) to type and save, or print it and write by hand. Anything you type on this page stays in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.
