s1e10: OKRs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Mathias first introduced OKRs at his company, he wanted clearer priorities, more visibility, and a stronger sense of progress. Working with his coach helped him see something underneath that desire: his own impatience and discomfort with losing sight of everyone's work as the company grew. A new framework couldn't do the work of leadership for him. In this episode of The Intentional Organization Podcast, Mathias Meyer and Sara Hicks revisit their experiences with objectives and key results,
S1E9: Accountability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of their podcast, Sara Hicks and Mathias Meyer tackle accountability, a word every leader claims to want but often struggles to practice.

Without equating every business with a cult, they examine insider vocabulary, group identity, and the social pr
S1E6: The Value of Values (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode , Mathias Meyer and Sara Hicks dig into "the value of values": why so many corporate values end up as hollow murals on office walls, and what it actually takes to make them mean something. Both hosts share how they were initially skeptical of values (Mathias recalls a formative conversation with his coach; Sara had a similar reaction early in her career), and how they came to see values not as fixed end-states but as living guides for behavior, decision-making, and trade-offs.
