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, learned valuable lessons during their decade at Google, realizing the truth in Coach John Wooden's saying about the importance of continuous learning. As they contributed to Google's transformation from a start-up to a global powerhouse, they reexamined their management philosophies. Their experiences culminate in a fun, accessible guide on corporate culture, strategy, talent, decision-making, communication, innovation, and navigating disruption. They highlight how three major shifts—the internet, mobile technology, and cloud computing—have empowered consumers over companies. To succeed in this dynamic environment, businesses must develop exceptional products and attract a new type of employee, referred to as "smart creatives." The authors present management principles, such as "Consensus requires dissension" and "Think 10X, not 10%," supported by previously untold stories from Google's history. In 2010, they initiated an internal class for Google managers, initially marked as "confidential," until an employee suggested sharing the insights more broadly. This book encapsulates the essence of Google's innovative spirit and its commitment to empowering employees for success.
