    About this audiobook

    *PLEASE NOTE: This concise summary is unofficial and is not authorized, approved, licensed, or endorsed by the original book's publisher or author.*

    Short on time? Or maybe you’ve already read the book, but need a refresh on the most important takeaways. In a quick, easy listen, you can take the main principles from Measure What Matters: How Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation Rock the World with OKRs! 

    John Doerr spells out the recipe for efficiency in corporations by using objectives and key results. A seasoned pro, Doerr traces on his history with OKRs and uses several examples from case studies by people who have implemented his system of utilizing OKRs. What unrolls is this: a great story and mission aren’t the only keys to success; having a structured, transparent way of creating goals aligns a company and drives them to better performance. Doerr uses several case studies from tech companies, and even a musician, to present how OKRs changed their missions from being visions into reality.

    This audiobook encapsulates key takeaways found in the original book. We’ve also provided an in-depth analysis as well as removing any fluff to save you hours of your time. If you’ve read the original, then this audio summary will help you solidify the most important lessons.

      While this summary does a splendid job of cleaning out the fluff of the book, it unfortunately clears out a little too much. The listener is often left needing to extrapolate the takeaways and lessons themselves based on the shortened case studies, as the analysis' included fall short of what the book itself is trying to get across.

      Overall I would say this was worth my time, but if you are serious about learning from this book - listen or read the full thing so you don't miss important lessons and takeaways on how you should be applying these to yourself and your own business.

      Note: be prepared for a bit of a tough listen if you are used to impactful narration. This narrator is somewhat clinical in his reading style, opting for a well articulated but monotone style.
