Coaching Takeaways It is not the purpose of scoring key results to evaluate employee performance. It is to (1) communicate targets, (2) manage expectations, and (3) enable learning. Select a single system for scoring key results when getting started. Consider adding a “quality” dimension using colors or happy/sad emojis to promote check‐in conversations that go beyond the numbers. We recommend the Stretch Target Commit system to align on achievement levels and manage expectations before publishing key results.
