I recently finished Drive and loved it,and I'm also working with a small team where we recently implemented OKRs. Now working through "Punished by Rewards", and also really enjoyed Andy Grove's "High Output Management" (in spite of the title) and the original "Flow" book, in spite of its esoteric style.

Would love to hear what else you've read and enjoyed in this area.

Nice your books recommendation, thank you. It seems we are facing similar challenges. I will save them on my personal kanban to read them later.

I recently finished Traction, that was very useful to me, I discovered I was so ignorant that I was blind about the marketing area of my product.

Also, there is a interesting PDF, may you can found useful, if you need to avail other peoples work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/79v5vmprkz7dpb9/Nobody%20gets%20cr...

I’ve been spending a lot of time on this and really found the book Traction useful. Thesis is that every role has to have some clearly defined objective measurables that can indicate to the employee and manager success. I have not been able to apply it to our developers and engineers but it has been extremely effective in sales (sales development, management and sales ops).

I know within two weeks if a candidate is on track, above or below and can predict growth quite easily and can immediately rehabilitate the situation.

Are you talking about "Mastery" by Robert Greene?

No, mastery of the "Drive" book. Basically, with measurable results, people tends to "mastery" a job.
