Want to read Christina R. Wodtke's "Radical Focus: Achieving Your Most Important Goals with Objectives and Key Results" (OKRs) with me in March 2018?

This video is an introduction to OKRs:-

I first stumbled over OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) via a tweet I saw at the end of 2017. I went on a hunt and this next video was the first on the subject that I found and it turned out to be the inside story of how this method was pitched to and introduced at Google:-

Whilst doing further research, I found Christina R. Wodtke's book "Radical Focus: Achieving Your Most Important Goals with Objectives and Key Results". It is this book that I am inviting people to read with me in March 2018. It is a business book in the form of a fable.

I see this book as being helpful to us as individuals, as team managers and as senior leaders in startup or other organisations.

My personal goal in reading this book is to understand what OKRs are, to set my personal OKRs for my life and to set OKRs for teams that I am leading or a part of.

I am happy to do anything with anyone to practically apply this book in March 2018.
