One of the last chapters of Changing Your Team From The Inside<\/a> is about success. Specifically about measuring success. In that chapter, I relate how a team started to adopt OKRs. While I was reviewing that chapter, John Doerr published Measure What Matters<\/a>, and I rushed to read the book as I wanted to check my knowledge with someone who inspired Google and a lot of other companies to use OKRs.<\/p>\n

One of the readers of the book told me that I should have started the book by that chapter, and I have to admit that I hesitated to change the order to have the opportunity to figure the quote from Clayton M. Christensen which is coming from How Will You Measure Your Life?<\/a><\/p>\n

Last month, someone recommended me to read Radical Focus<\/a> by Christina Wodtke. The book starts with a business novel and goes through the process of defining and using OKRs. This is a very short book that I recommend if you are interested in achieving your goals with your team. I also suggested the book to one book club, and we start the discussion on that book tomorrow! I am eager to hear what are the perspectives of the other readers.<\/p>\n

Focus is one of the key factors highlighted by Richard St John in his 3-minute TEDTalk from 2007.<\/p>\n
