John Doerr is the chair of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, which he joined in 1980. He has invested in some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and companies, including Amazon, Google, Intuit, Netscape, and Twitter. Through his investments, he has helped create more than 425,000 jobs.
Kris Duggan is the CEO and cofounder of BetterWorks, which helps progressive companies move toward continuous performance management. A noted thought leader on goal setting and OKRs, he has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Fast Company.
In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up he’d just given $11.8 million, the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world (or even to survive), Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They’d have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. And they needed timely, relevant data to track their progress—to measure what mattered.
Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He had first discovered OKRs in the 1970s as an engineer at Intel, where Andy Grove (“the greatest manager of his or any era”) drove the best-run company Doerr had ever seen. Later, as a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove’s brainchild with more than fifty companies. Wherever the process was faithfully practiced, it worked.
The rest is history. With OKRs as its management foundation, Google has grown from forty employees to more than 70,000—with a market cap exceeding $600 billion.
In the OKR model, objectives define what we seek to achieve; key results are how those top-priority goals will be attained with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone’s goals, from entry-level to CEO, are transparent to the entire organization. The benefits are profound. OKRs surface an organization’s most important work. They focus effort and foster coordination. They keep employees on track. They link objectives across silos to unify and strengthen the entire company. Along the way, OKRs enhance workplace satisfaction and boost retention.
In Measure What Matters, Doerr and coauthor Kris Duggan share 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 help a new generation of leaders capture the same magic.

Measure What Matters 下載 mobi epub pdf 電子書##【有聲書】其實要想瞭解OKR不需要讀這本書,把OKR背後每個字代錶的意義,它是如何與公司整體理念融閤以及它當時創建的理由搞清楚瞭就可以開始實踐瞭。不過不同公司的商業分析以及他們OKR的案例聽下來還是很有啓發的,書中真的請到瞭好多大佬。讓我係統性的從頭到尾學瞭一遍OKR的理念和操作方式還是很有效的。

評分##這是看的第三本兒將工作方法之類的書吧,真心覺得這種類型的書好難看懂。。。(我覺悟太低瞭)。而且看的時候也好容易走神兒。 我工作之後幾乎都會接觸到類似周報日報這樣的東西,但是貌似這些都是發生在一天的工作之後,且所有的文字記錄都比較敷衍吧。也純粹是為瞭給領導看。...
