IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a book summary of Measure What Matters by John Doerr and is not the original book.
If you’re looking for a better way of organizing your goals and getting things done, then read this advice from John Doerr, a venture capitalist with stakes in some of the world’s largest and most successful technology companies. His approach to goal-setting has transformed the way these companies achieve their tasks and he’s worked alongside big names such as Google, Intel, and Intuit. Thanks to his framework, known as OKRs, huge organizations have been able to streamline their priorities and focus on what truly matters. If it’s worked for them, it can work for you. You know that goal-setting is relatively straightforward when just a couple of people are involved. But how about when you add more people to the mix? As your business grows, how can you get everyone working towards the same goals? How do you keep track of what everyone is doing and how they are performing without hundreds of spreadsheets and overlapping projects? How can you decide which goals should be prioritized and which ones can be left for another day? Can goals be used to encourage innovative change and if so, how can we measure their success? Doerr’s book, Measure What Matters, answers all these questions and more with key lessons and examples from businesses that have used his goal-setting strategies. This summary gives you the most important points from his book so you can apply them to your own business and work. In this book, you will discover:
- Exactly what OKRs are and how they can completely transform the way you and your business set goals.
- How technology giants such as Google and YouTube, among others, have successfully applied OKRs to help them achieve short-term and long-term goals.
- How OKRs can be used both in startups and well-established behemoths.
- A new way to approach annual performance reviews that is far more effective than traditional methods.
- How organizational culture can make a huge difference when it comes to achieving your goals - and how you can change it to make it more effective.
This book allows you to skip to the nuggets of wisdom and actionable content in a very easily absorbed, readable way including key takeaways at the end of each chapter. This book summarizes the original in detail, to help people effectively understand, articulate and imbibe the original work by Doerr. This book is not meant to replace the original book but to serve as a companion to it.
