No big take-sways

There was no added knowledge or big take-away. It was short, so I’m not disappointed for wasted time

Clear and concise with good examples.

Great introduction to OKRs, explains difference at the end with KPI, SMART and BSC

A good review

A reasonable “get down to business” summary. An introduction or a refresher quick listen. Works at 1.5 speed.

Thought this advanced Doerr's book, Instead Copies it.

I was excited to listen to a different perspective on OKRs but it's just the cliff notes to Measure What Matters. Disappointed.
