    Measure What Matters
    #1 New York Times Bestseller Legendary venture capitalist John Doerr reveals how the goal-setting system of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has helped tech giants from Intel to Google achieve explosive growth-and how it can help any organization thrive. In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up whom he'd just given $12.5 million, the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world (or even to survive), Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They'd have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. And they needed timely, relevant data to track their progress-to measure what mattered. Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He had first discovered OKRs in the 1970s as an engineer at Intel, where the legendary Andy Grove ("the greatest manager of his or any era") drove the best-run company Doerr had ever seen. Later, as a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove's brainchild with more than fifty companies. Wherever the process was faithfully practiced, it worked. In this goal-setting system, objectives define what we seek to achieve; key results are how those top-priority goals will be attained with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone's goals, from entry level to CEO, are transparent to the entire organization. The benefits are profound. OKRs surface an organization's most important work. They focus effort and foster coordination. They keep employees on track. They link objectives across silos to unify and strengthen the entire company. Along the way, OKRs enhance workplace satisfaction and boost retention. In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organizations. This book will help a new generation of leaders capture the same magic.

    Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    Anthony Doerr has received many awards - from the New York Public Library, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the American Library Association. Then came the Rome Prize, one of the most prestigious awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and with it a stipend and a writing studio in Rome for a year. Doerr learned of the award the day he and his wife returned from the hospital with newborn twins. Exquisitely observed, Four Seasons in Rome describes Doerr's varied adventures in one of the most enchanting cities in the world. He reads Pliny, Dante, and Keats - the chroniclers of Rome who came before him - and visits the piazzas, temples, and ancient cisterns they describe. He attends the vigil of a dying Pope John Paul II and takes his twins to the Pantheon in December to wait for snow to fall through the oculus. He and his family are embraced by the butchers, grocers, and bakers of the neighborhood, whose clamor of stories and idiosyncratic child-rearing advice is as compelling as the city itself. This intimate and revelatory book is a celebration of Rome, a wondrous look at new parenthood, and a fascinating story of a writer's craft - the process by which he transforms what he sees and experiences into sentences. ungekürzt.

    Die Tiefe: Stories, Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 374min
    Die sechs Stories dieses Bandes, angesiedelt auf drei verschiedenen Kontinenten, handeln von Erinnerung und Liebe. In jedem Augenblick, sagt Anthony Doerr, verschwinden überall auf der Welt unzählige Erinnerungen, dabei sind sie es, die unserem Leben Sinn und Zusammenhang verleihen. Gleichzeitig erforschen Kinder neues, unbekanntes Terrain, formen frische Erinnerungen, erfinden die Welt neu. In "Die Memel" zieht ein verwaistes Mädchen zu ihrem Großvater nach Litauen und entdeckt eine Welt, in der Mythen real werden. In "Dorf 113" geht es um den Bau des Drei-Schluchten-Damms und um die Samenhüterin, die auch die Geschichte des Dorfes bewahrt, das bald überflutet werden wird. In "Nachwelt", einer erschütternden, unvergesslichen Geschichte, wird eine Frau, als einzige Überlebende aus einem jüdischen Waisenhaus in Hamburg dem Holocaust entronnen, von Visionen ihrer Kindheitsfreundinnen heimgesucht, findet aber Trost in der zärtlichen Fürsorge ihres Enkelsohns. "Die Tiefe", angesiedelt im Detroit der dreißiger Jahre, erzählt die melancholische Liebesgeschichte von Tom und Ruby, die Tom wegen seiner Herzschwäche in Lebensgefahr bringt. Doerr erzählt von fast mystischen Momenten, in denen die Zeit aufgehoben scheint und die Toten anwesend sind. Die Welt wird transparent, wenn dieser große Erzähler sie und ihre Bewohner beschreibt.   Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible. ungekürzt. deutsch.

    Speed & Scale
    Venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping-and actionable-plan to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change. In 2006, acclaimed investor John Doerr and his partners at Kleiner Perkins launched their first clean technology fund. They've backed more climate entrepreneurs than anyone else and have invested in a broad range of solutions, absorbing hard-earned lessons along the way. Fifteen years later, despite breakthroughs in batteries, electric vehicles, and solar and wind power, global warming continues to get worse. Its impact is all around us: droughts, floods, wildfires, the melting of the polar ice caps. Our world is squarely in a climate crisis and on the brink of a climate disaster. Yet despite our state of emergency, climate change has yet to be tackled with the consistency and urgency it requires. More than ever, we need a clear course of action. What if the goal-setting techniques that powered the rise of today's most innovative organizations were brought to bear on humanity's greatest challenge? Fueled by a powerful tool called Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), SPEED & SCALE offers an unprecedented global plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions and preserving a habitable planet. Used by Google, Bono's ONE foundation, and startups the world over, OKRs have scaled ideas into achievements that changed the world. With clear-eyed realism and science-backed precision, Doerr identifies the OKRs we need to reduce emissions across every sector of the economy and to arrive by 2050 at net zero-the point where we are no longer adding to the heat-trapping carbon in the atmosphere. By turns pragmatic and inspiring, SPEED & SCALE intersperses Doerr's wide-ranging analysis with firsthand accounts from Jeff Bezos, Christiana Figueres, Al Gore, Mary Barra, Bill Gates, and other intrepid policy leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, and activists. A launchpad for those who want to act now, this book is geared to ambitious leaders of every kind. With a definitive plan, science, and a rising climate movement on our side, we can still reach net zero before it is too late. But as Doerr reminds us, there is no more time to waste.
