Story
In 2006, John Doerr was challenged by his 15-year-old daughter to solve the climate crisis. And for 15 years, that has been his goal. Despite many solutions already being in hand - batteries, electric vehicles, solar and wind power - global warming has continued to worsen as we lack the policy, investment, and global consensus to fully deploy them. We need a clear course of action. Using Objectives and Key Results, the tool that has helped Google and many other start-ups achieve awe-inspiring goals, Doerr presents an action plan to safeguard the planet for generations to come.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible.

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.

Could have been a blog post
Nothing truly groundbreaking here. It’s just a simple process of setting actionable and somewhat measurable goals. A secondary idea is weekly one on one meetings between managers and their direct reports. This wasn’t novel even 10 years ago. I wouldn’t bother with this book. If you get the basic concept of OKRs — and you can get it in about 500 words — then this book doesn’t any further nuance or insight.

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!

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 audiobook however difficult to use without physical book
I would have liked to have read this to make notes. Hard to do so while listening in car!

Builds Like a Rollercoster
Bravo John Doerr on this brilliant book. The final chapters are just superb. On my first attempt I only got half way, but then I started using OKRs and was hooked, and read it again completing it, loving it and if not for his new book I would read it again right now!

A useful listen
Stories got a bit samey - reluctance at first, company changed, good things happen. You can't argue with the results though. There are certainly some quotable lines in there.
