- This is the definitive book on OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), the de-facto goal-setting system in many Silicon Valley companies (my opinion based on my experience).
- What are OKRs? OKR consists of
- Objectives: These are what you want to achieve. They should be significant, concrete, action-oriented, and inspirational.
- Key Results: These are how you’ll measure progress towards the objective. They should be specific, time-bound, and verifiable.
- It is an inspiring book that talks about transparency and buy-in from the lowest levels in a company.
- Doerr uses examples from multiple companies that were successful in implementing this system.
