Primary Evidence

"Larry and Sergey were good at listening to people who knew what they were talking about. I’m sure they argued with John, but they listened. They had never run a company or even worked in a company before. John came in and said, “This is a way you can run your business, and it’s measurable and trackable.” Measurables were intuitive to Larry and Sergey, and they had to be impressed by the fact that Intel used OKRs. Intel was such a great company, and we were so small by comparison."

"Our landmark OKR had some unanticipated consequences. Through the four-year push to reach the billion hours of daily watch time, our daily views soared in parallel. Stretch OKRs tend to set powerful forces into motion, and you can never be sure where they’ll lead. Another big lesson, for me, was the importance of support from the top—from Susan, of course, but also from Larry and Sergey."
