HI!
My name is Christina Wodtke, and I'm the author of Radical focus.
So excited to be hunted today! Let me know if you have any questions about this book!
Everyone can find something they can relate to and learn from in this story. Also the lessons stayed very top of mind for me, probably because stick with you because it's a short book. If you liked "The 5 dysfunctions of a team" and care about OKRs then you'll love this.
I think Christina is onto something here with applying OKR's in this fashion. In a way, we're all entrepreneurs now when it comes to our own career development. If the corporate ladder ever existed, it's obliterated now in the US.
@davidjbland Oh, you are thinking of my talk! In the book, it's really just about companies. But I am considering a follow up to talk more about how OKRs can also accelerate your personal life!
Christina is a wonderful explainer of things. No BS. Straight to the point. Practical and sound.

Reading this book will probably be cathartic and inspiring for anyone from an executive to a product manager. The book accurately shows that any number of performance or focus challenges that you and your teams may be experiencing are not unique. The book incredibly effectively demonstrates the thinking tweaks and simple process updates to get back on track. Our VP at Nest bought a copy for everyone on the team.
This book is fantastic for anybody running a company or managing a team. It's quick and fun to read, and it absolutely cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had around OKRs.

Is there an Audible or other audio version in the works?
