INTRODUCTION
From Tripalium to OKR: The Journey of Human Management
Imagine waking up one day and discovering that the word “work” actually comes from tripalium — an ancient Roman torture device. Hard to believe, right? The very thing we do every day to make a living has such a dark and painful origin. And strangely enough, some traces of that past still echo through the walls of modern offices.
But before we dive into the long history of how work evolved into what we know today, let’s take a step back and ask ourselves: what does it really mean to work?
In the beginning, work wasn’t something people did out of passion, or to follow their dreams. Far from it. It was something imposed — often under the threat of violence. To work, back then, was quite literally to lose your freedom. If you were working in ancient Rome, you were a slave. Period.
And even though, over the centuries, the word began to take on more “noble” meanings, we can’t just erase where it came from.
As societies progressed, the meaning of work started to shift. During the Middle Ages, it began to gain a bit more respect — but it still wasn’t glamorous by any means. It wasn’t really until the Renaissance, in the 16th century, that work started being viewed as something that could ennoble the human spirit.
And that’s when we began to lose ourselves in the never-ending pursuit of goals and objectives.
Even the word goal has an interesting origin. Back in ancient Rome, it referred to the turning point in a chariot race — that marker that told you the finish line was getting close… but you weren’t quite there yet.
Sound familiar? We may not be racing chariots anymore, but that feeling — of always chasing something, only to realize there’s still more ahead — is something we all know too well.
