Radical Focus

great for early stage startups looking to implement metrics

OKRs can suck, they are usually overdesigned, and a pain of some wrong. This opinionated take on OKRs is exactly what an early stage startup needs. Should you have 10 OKRs? No, just one OKR set. Should you have individual OKRs? No. Should you cascade OKRs to reams? Maybe. The book is full of practical advice as well as supporting tooling for implementing OKRs such as the four square method, the start and end bookend meetings to drive weekly cadence, building a project pipeline and tools for grading OKRs. I especially love the first third of the book's story approach of a startup going through trouble. I find it much more engaging to learn through stories and relate to them.
