📚 About the book Radically Rethinking Metrics: The Case Against Targets and OKRs and What to Do Instead Methodologies for goal-setting including SMART goals and OKRs are deeply ingrained in our corporate culture but they come with serious downsides. This book evidences research and presents recognizable examples of how goal-setting can go wrong by eroding collaboration, hampering experimentation, and encouraging shortcuts. It introduces Dutt’s Law as a north star for organizations and teams: “Metrics are only effective if they’re used towards collaborative learning.” But without goals, will you and your team be as ambitious, driven, and motivated toward high achievement? Spoiler alert: yes, yes, and yes! You’ll learn about OHLs, Objectives Hypotheses and Learnings, a powerful but lightweight methodology that will help you measure what matters, encourage experimentation to drive better results, and ultimately help every team member take ownership of making progress toward your shared vision.
