Rate this book
Do you have trouble setting or accomplishing your career goals?

Do you aspire to improve your team management skills and turn your workforce into a high-performing force of productivity?

The truth is... the majority of managers are simply not very good at goal setting. Business objectives are rarely completed on time and even the best employees often find themselves occupied with inconsequential tasks during the workday. Such obstacles hinder productivity and undermine the potential for innovation and growth.

How are you to bridge the gap between your company vision and your workplace execution?

The solution lies in understanding that business goals must be paired with well-defined metrics, in a framework specially designed to keep your team on track and working (harmoniously) toward your vision. The name of this framework is a new "goal setting and management technique" called OKR (Objectives & Key Results.)

THIS BOOK WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO GET MORE DONE IN THE OFFICE EACH DAY USING OKR!

Read on, and you'll understand why so many Silicon Valley companies (like Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter) have enthusiastically adopted OKR with great success. In this book, we bypass the typical "management dribble" and show you how to set ambitious goals and build the perfect company "dream team"—a crew of enthusiastic employees who are ready to make your vision a reality!

You will

How to use OKR and immediately apply it to your own company goals and management style.The one attribute of traditional goal setting that causes so many projects to fail.The trick to project management that enables your team to easily topple even the most difficult obstacles.How to inspire your team to achieve their fullest potential by using "stretch goals" to get more done each quarter.The essential psychological forces that turn good leaders into great leaders.And, how to harmonize the pursuits of upper management with the personal goals of each employee, so you can turn your workforce into a finely-tuned engine of productivity.

Even if you only manage a small business (with one or two employees), OKR can still work for you. Indeed, even "digital nomads" (people who run their entire business from one laptop) are able to employ OKRs with great success.

As you become more familiar with the OKR philosophy, you might find yourself wondering how you ever ran your business (or your life) without it.

Practical guide to OKR

I chose 5 stars for this book, since messages book states are all clear and well written. Although OKR is very famous concept but most people misunderstand that it is for employee evaluation. This book states why we don’t use OKR as an evaluation tool and I totally agree with that.

Libro práctico para concocer los OKR y cómo implantarlos. Una guía sencilla para quienes quieran iniciarse en este ámbito.

Si estáis interesados en el tema, os recomiendo "Mide lo que importa" de John Doerr, en mi opinión más completo.

Ocena pod katem OKRow 2/5 bo bardzo ogólna. Ale jesli sie od tego oderwać i skupic na wartosci tresci jako całości to 4/5. Ksiazka świetna jako wstep do tematu OKRow i przywództwa. Bardzo dobrze wyciaga esencje z tych dwoch zagadnien

Another useful OKRs book. This book tells you how OKRs is and how we can use it. I would recommend you to read it if you want to know more about OKRs or want to use it at your organization.

I had never heard of the OKR term until recently, had to quickly grab a hold of the concept. It's a good read.

Need all the name dropping and Silicon Valley idealized anecdotes that people poke fun of “measure what matters” for.

Without tangibles you have a dry book about a “way to do things”
