Most teams adopt OKRs with good intentions—yet many end up buried in spreadsheets, jargon, and endless reviews. Instead of clarity, they get confusion. Instead of progress, they get stalled momentum. Lean Goal-Setting That Actually Works strips away the noise and shows you how to keep the impact while dropping the overhead.
Inside, you’ll learn how to define outcomes that matter, align your team around shared priorities, and create simple rhythms—like weekly check-ins and lightweight reviews—that fuel continuous progress. No bureaucracy. No wasted effort. Just straightforward methods that deliver results.
Whether you’re leading a startup, managing a growing business, or running projects inside a larger organization, this book gives you the tools to make goal-setting fast, effective, and energizing.
Stop drowning in process. Start achieving what matters.
