Huge congratulations to my friend and mentor John Doerr on his newest book, Measure What Matters, which is available on newsstands now.
I first met John during my time at Zynga where I was a newly minted President and he was the Lead Independent Director on our Board. John immediately struck me as one of the most organized, focused individuals I'd ever met and I wanted to find out why. This began my journey into the land of OKR's, a practice which is now a rhythmic part of my role as the CEO of Zume, Inc.
When Zume set out to reinvent the delivery food industry, OKR's were woven into the way we built our team, culture, and company and have allowed us to accomplish incredible things for such a small team. Focus and execution are so powerful!
It’s an honor to be recognized in a chapter dedicated to the Zume story and I encourage you to pick up a copy today and learn more about this incredible way to turbocharge your company. I’m a big believer in the OKR system and open to answering/sharing more about my experience implementing it. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or check out more www.whatmatters.com

6 年Great execution without a great idea is impossible. By their very definition, great ideas are rare - six sigma rarity. Something that rare doesn’t strike me as easy. The idea that great ideas are the easy part is ridiculous.
