Manage your life like Google is a very short book, that will take you less than 2 hours to read, but that will cause a complete transformation on how you plan your life, reach your goals, and grow as a person and as a professional. Written by Francisco Homem de Mello, founder and CEO of Qulture.Rocks, himself a best-selling business author, multiple Ironman finisher, and former Executive Director at a bulge bracket investment bank, this book will potentialize your success if you spend less than a minute a day practicing it's workings.
It builds on the very successful OKR methodology currently been used by most of Silicon Valley's most successful businesses, and adapts it to your own personal needs.
According to Christina Wodtke, author of Elegant Hacks:
"The OKR approach to setting goals has been used at Google, Linkedin, Zynga, General Assembly and beyond and is spreading like wildfire across successful Silicon Valley companies. The companies have adopted the approach are growing like weeds. OKRs provide focus, united the teams behind a single strategy, and makes all goals into stretch goals. If want to get your entire company to execute like the hounds of hell are behind them and the gates of Valhalla are open before them, try the OKR approach out."
You can use OKRs to change the way you organize and plan your life, and increase by orders of magnitude your effectiveness in reaching your goals and fulfilling your dreams. The book has been written by Francisco Souza Homem de Mello, founder and CEO of Qulture.Rocks, a company that's revolutionizing talent management (former known as strategic human resources), and implementing OKRs, performance reviews, Management by Objectives, and other top-notch practices in dozens of hyper-growth companies.
According to Francisco, in a recent blogpost,
"The term OKRs was introduced by Andy Grove, a de facto cofounder of Intel (he joined the company on the day of its incorporation, but is not listed as a cofounder,) and its former CEO, in his great management book High Output Management . Grove didn’t bring any transformational insight to MBOs, but spoke about appending key-results to goals, and calling goals objectives. But making key-results an integral part of the MBO process is very important: it brings clarity to how goals can and should be attained, and makes this “how” evident and transparent to everybody."
