OKRs: The Simple Idea that Drives 10x Growth Broschiertes Buch 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 forty 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 fifty 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 organization'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 organizations. This book will show you how to collect timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters. It will help any organization or team aim high, move fast, and excel.

Both Eric Schmidt and Jonathan Rosenberg, seasoned Silicon Valley executives, transformed their management understanding during their decade at Google. They embraced Coach John Wooden's insight that learning continues beyond initial expertise. Their experiences at Google, which evolved from a start-up to a global powerhouse, are encapsulated in this engaging primer on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and navigating disruption. The authors highlight how three major shifts—the internet, mobile, and cloud computing—have empowered consumers and altered corporate dynamics. Companies that will thrive are those that produce exceptional products and attract 'smart creatives,' a new type of multifaceted employee. The book presents management principles like 'Consensus requires dissension' and 'Think 10X, not 10%,' supported by unique anecdotes from Google’s history. Rosenberg recalls how an internal management class, initially marked 'Google confidential,' was shared publicly after a suggestion to embrace openness. This work codifies the essence of Google's innovative approach and its commitment to empowering employees for success.
