Story
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their successes over and over? People like Martin Luther King, Jr.; Steve Jobs; and the Wright Brothers might have little in common, but they all started with why. Their natural ability to start with why enabled them to inspire those around them and to achieve remarkable things.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Instant New York Times best seller.
The revolutionary movement behind the explosive growth of Intel, Google, Amazon and Uber.
With a foreword by Larry Page and contributions from Bono and Bill Gates.
Measure What Matters is about using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), a revolutionary approach to goal-setting, to make tough choices in business.
In 1999, legendary venture capitalist John Doerr invested nearly $12 million in a startup that had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. Doerr introduced the founders to OKRs and with them at the foundation of their management, the startup grew from 40 employees to more than 70,000 with a market cap exceeding $600 billion. The startup was Google.
Since then Doerr has introduced OKRs to more than 50 companies, helping tech giants and charities exceed all expectations. In the OKR model objectives define what we seek to achieve and key results are how those top priority goals will be attained. OKRs focus effort, foster coordination and enhance workplace satisfaction. They surface an organisation's most important work as everyone's goals from entry-level to CEO are transparent to the entire institution.
In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the focus, agility and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organisations.
This audiobook will show you how to collect timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters. It will help any organisation or team aim high, move fast, and excel.

OKR
I went in expecting a lot of interesting corporate sories. Like perhaps the Chicken Soup book. After all, stories and anecdotes is what makes a book unique. The stories are all there, at least some big names are. However the stories lack tooth, they are all neutered to avoid giving you any real insights. The only solution everywhere is OKR.
You will find a lot of jargon to say how companies faced problems. What I found was a very generic magnificently elaborate discussion of mundane everyday problems of huge companies with minimal detail of problem, all solved by Doerr's OKRs. It is a great book for what happened before and what happened after the OKR's. I felt the vital discussion of 'how' OKRs solved the problem was deliberately missing. This book's primary purpose is to get corporate clients for John Doerr. The book seems to be keyword optimized for search engines where every sentence has at least one mention of the word OKR. So it gets tiring. 'Alexa replace all OKR's with Aspirin'.
Being an early investor in Google means John Doerr got his foot in the door of many successful firms whose glowing reviews clearly are Doerr's version of OKR success story initialled by them. Because these corporate OKR reviews lack originality and follow Doerrs search engine optimized script with OKR in every sentence.. Overall an overwhelming amount of chest beating. It just seems to be all good practices in corporates from a hundred books rebundled and rechristened and baptised as OKR's. This book follows some very generic problems by big silicon valley corporates all solved by OKRs. Some voices from corporates also thrown in.

Improved my thinks about objectives Key Results
Thinks = Thoughts and thought process, the title allows only so many words. I have been with Intel for four years and I was recently introduced to the OKRs approach that Andy Grove developed by my mentor. This book is an easy and enjoyable listen. It delves on what is the OKR approach, and how leading organisations have used it to to transform the culture and achieve extraordinary results. The 4 pillars are simple to grasp. The implementation will extract effort and help "build the individual's and organisation's goal muscle". This is worth a read and a must listen.

This codifies everything that is wrong with performance Management and sets forward an awesome, yet practical and measurable approach for setting gos, translating these into actionable that everybody can get excited about and rally to achieve and to measure the entire journey, to know when a goal has been achieved and thus redirect resources to other goals or set new ones; or to know when a goal is no longer achieveable or relevant.

I could relate the concepts in this book to Hoshin Kanri method of strategic deployment that I learned earlier. This OKR concept is much easier to explain and has more flexibility in deploying sideways across the org where work needs to be done inspire of silos.

Too many anecdotes
Most of this book it's taken up with anecdotes of various companies having implemented the system. That's great to know but the whole book is filled with it, chapter after chapter.
My advice is to skip to the last chapter as it then finally actually tells you how to implement the system. But only listen to the first half of that chapter though as the last half is literally just the author thanking all of the contributors!

culture is the medium for okrs and cfrs to thrive. need to take good care where the organization lean the ladder on the wall. if it is not the right wall you lead the team to wrong direction. okrs are not the silver bullet. sound business judgment and engagement lead to success.

Well worth a listen
Being relatively new to this approach, I’m a big fan of OKRs. I’ve watched some of John’s YouTube stuff and love his approach and his extensive knowledge. His delivery/recording of the book is surprisingly shoddy but get over it, it’s not so distracting that you can’t listen to it and there is some good stories in here, albeit a bit repetitive in message.
Enjoy it.

Read the High Output Management rather than this b
I run a small business and was keen to learn more about OKRs. However, this book disappointed as it was essentially just a long winded introduction into original source - Andy Grove's book "High Output Management". The book praises the method but I have no idea how to approach it in practice. It is also a bit ironic that Zume is presented as a great success while the company has nosedived since the book was published. I have to credit narration of the book though as multiple voices give it an extra spin.

Great book on OKRs and goal setting
I loved the examples and practicality of this book. Very tactical and easy to digest. Most books on strategic alignment and organisation are very theory driven, this one was very practical.

An important book for anyone who wants to achieve
Measure What Matters outlines the processes of setting Objectives and Key Results or OKRs - the framework for goal setting and success used by Google, Microsoft and the Gates Foundation, just to name a few big time companies. The structure of goal setting and achievement in this book should be standard reading for all MBA students.
