In The Progress Principle, Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer analyzed 26 project teams, 238 individuals, and 12,000 employee diary entries. Highmotivation cultures, they concluded, rely on a mix of two elements. Catalysts, defined as “actions that support work,” sound much like OKRs: “They include setting clear goals, allowing autonomy, providing sufficient resources and time, helping with the work, openly learning from problems and successes, and allowing a free exchange of ideas.” Nourishers—“acts of interpersonal support”—bear a striking resemblance to CFRs: “respect and recognition, encouragement, emotional comfort, and opportunities for affiliation.”
