"Christina has taken my favorite book on OKRs and deepened it by answering all the hardest questions people run into putting it to work in the real world. Thank you once again!" - Bruce McCarthy, author and founder of Product Culture

Struggling to adopt Objectives and Key Results? Radical Focus teaches you everything you need. The author pulls from her experience with Silicon Valley's hottest companies to teach practical insights on OKRs in the form of a fable.

When Hanna and Jack receive an ultimatum from the only investor in their struggling tea supply company, they must learn how to employ OKRs to achieve the radical focus they need. Using Hanna and Jack's story, Wodtke walks readers through how to inspire a diverse team to work together in pursuit of a single, challenging goal, and how to stay motivated despite setbacks and failures.
