Hey HN,<p>At Hypercontext (S21 / https://hypercontext.com) we build an app that helps managers run better meetings by making sure those meetings have an agenda, notes, and goals that tie back to their OKRs.<p>But really we want to help managers become great. So we asked over 500 people exclusively working within tech everything we could to see what we could find.<p>--<p>Here's what we found:<p>1. Unproductive employees are 2.8X more likely to not know their goals.<p>2. People who know their goals are over 3X more likely to work at a company that’s in hyper-growth.<p>3. Discussing your goals weekly increases confidence in hitting them by 2.7x.<p>4. The 1:1 is the most valuable meeting type (doesn't matter if eng, sales, cs, or exec)<p>5. Managers who run 1:1s have 1.5x better retention on their team.<p>6. Paying below market increases turnover by 1.3x. Paying above didn't seem to decrease turnover.<p>7. According to their team, the #1 improvement needed for their manager is in a clear vision/strategy<p>8. Meanwhile, managers self-report their largest challenge is "not micromanaging"<p>9. Gen Z and and Women of color are least comfortable speaking in meetings<p>10. People who are not comfortable in meetings are 3x more likely to have applied for another job in the past 6m<p>--<p>Full report here, ungated: https://hypercontext.com/state-of-high-performing-teams-in-tech
