From "Introduction to OKRs", [1]www.oreilly.com/business/free/files/introduction-to-okrs.pdf: OKR is an acronym, and like most acronyms, the words behind the letters are often forgotten. This is a deadly mistake. How Objectives and Key Results are life-and-death is not covered on that page or the entire document. O'Reilly editors, please note: * Acronyms as titles, even in short works, rarely drive readership * Overuse of the acronym in the text dilutes its meaning * Watch the dead space - nothing starts until page 6, four pages are blank, and another page has a two line sentence * Getting Started with OKRs is the title of the last chapter?
  • This is a PDF, not a print pamphlet. Treat it as such.
  • As it is, Christina Wodtke provides some useful bits if you dig through the dry text. These aren't new. You've seen their like before and will again. Christina needed a narrative (she hinted at stories from her storied career) and a real editor to make this pop. This piece is a free PDF. Maybe this is new to you. If so, dive in! If not, the only cost is that you could be reading something else. Taking a few minutes to review or reacquaint yourself is valuable, too.
