🎙️ #6 Measure What Matters: Chapter #1 - Culture Makes or Breaks OKRs

In this episode of The Open Shelf, we explore John Doerr's influential book Measure What Matters, focusing on why organisational culture determines OKR success.

In Chapter 1, we explore with Pedram Rahmati how culture creates the foundation for effective OKRs:

✅ Why leadership must use OKRs themselves: "they measured themselves using OKRs" vs devaluing team efforts
✅ How decoupling from compensation enables aspirational goals: "OKR need to be decoupled from compensation"
