Brought to you by Penguin.INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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 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 audiobook 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. ''I''d recommend John''s book for anyone interested in becoming a better manager'', Bill Gates© John Doerr 2018 (P) Penguin Audio 2018

Brought to you by Penguin.Venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping-and actionable-plan to conquer humanity''s greatest challenge: climate change.In 2006, John Doerr was challenged by his fifteen-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. Speed & Scale identifies what we need to do to cut emissions across every sector and reach net zero by 2050, with clear-eyed realism and scientific precision.Doerr weaves his hard-won cleantech lessons with first-hand accounts from Bill Gates, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Jeff Bezos, and dozens of other bold climate leaders.Speed & Scale is a call to arms for humankind, a launchpad for ambitious leaders who are ready to act now.© John Doerr 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
