Why the secret to success is setting the right goals | John Doerr | TED
Our leaders and institutions are failing us, but it's not always because they're bad or unethical, says venture capitalist John Doerr -- often, it's simply because they're leading us toward the wrong objectives. In this practical talk, Doerr shows us how we can get back on track with "Objectives and Key Results," or OKRs -- a goal-setting system that's been employed by the likes of Google, Intel and Bono to set and execute on audacious goals. Learn more about how setting the right goals can mean the difference between success and failure -- and how we can use OKRs to hold our leaders and ourselves accountable.

OKRs are explained at one of the highest levels. Thank you Mr. John Doerr for sharing those stories. Such a fantastic message!
John Explanation is fantastic. Objectives should be significant, concrete, action-oriented, inspirational. key results are specific and time-bound, aggressive but realistic, measurable and verifiable. OKR's are important for individuals as wells as organizations.
Vídeo extremamente valioso, nos mostra em poucas palavras a essência do "OKR", o que me chama atenção é a aplicabilidade não só e em empresas mas também em equipes e na vida pessoal. O que eu entendo esta resumido em duas perguntas: Sabe onde quer chegar? - Fez o que tem que ser feito? - a resposta é tão simples quanto o método: Sim ou Não. Separar um tempo para se dedicar ao objetivo e resulta chave com muito cuidado e assertividade. Lembrando que o método não substitui uma cultura forte, mas agrega. Grato pelo Vídeo.
My life is not the same after watching you deliver this fantastic message, John. Thank you.
Ditto
"If the heart doesn't find a perfect rhyme with the head, then your passion means nothing"
This one Inspired me very much.
Pretty accurate
We don't know what the result is until we define the objective. Here John demonstrates how great leaders were able to clearly use OKR. It is inspiring when a human being has the goal of changing the world, that is to dream big.
I love how this resonates with Simon Sinek's work, starting with Why. The great addition this has for me is OKR's expression of How. I hope to put this to good use.
What a OUTSTANDING piece of knowledge, I wouldn't had a clear understand of OKR until now. I just found myself keeping my head-down and not getting my goals clearly defined for what, why and how. The passion Bono related too, made me reflex, exam, and restructure what my passion is and with my head-up I can ignite my passion to Keep Moving Forward with a greater passion for what is on the horizon.
He's one if the most incredible and eloquant public speakers I've ever listened to.
This has been the secret to my success for over 30 years! Set your goals and expectations really low and you'll always be successful!
Apparently gambling on a fart is too high.
I think you should always set your expectations really high and go for it
Sarcasm? I just want to be sure
I think you need to watch it again.
Hmm. I gues it should be high then divide it into small portions where you think it’s low because it’s achievable, then repeat the process ‘til you reach the head/ main goal.
I have been using OKRs at my org for a year now. I strongly recommend them. The great value i get out of them is the fact they force you to keep what's important in mind and work every week to progress towards those goals. Every Monday I'm reminded the 9 reasons my department is working that week and what should be done concretely in the following 5 days. The focus on what matters is key
Thanks for sharing this - Goals are so important, direction and energy!
Great, simple, and actionable content. This is the material potential leaders out there need
The inspiration, wisdom, and knowledge that I didnt know I needed in my life right now. Thank you!
Exactly what I needed to hear. Perfect timing. Thank you Father❤
Thank you so much i was too in the abstract for everything this show will change my life
Ted Talk is not a place where you can find your exact answers to life but instead it is a wonderful place to get inspired and motivated. They done their part and it's up to us to make the difference by taking actions

Many peoples use ted in many purposes. So how you use it depend on yourselves. This is nescesary to appreciate a person, including speaker and listener.
I strongly agree!
He literally just answered the question: How are people who change the world going about it?
I totally agree. No matter how much you know from seeing all Ted Talks, execution is what matters most.
Método OKR simples, porém assertivo: o que e como! Ferramenta extremamente prática para empresas e para vida pessoal! Excelente!
Great performance with a powerful message on goal achievement from John Doerr!
Wow. Inspiring talk by John Doerr! Studying OKR for personal growth. Going directly to the source really clarifies everything. Thanks TED! 😊🙏💕
Thank you for sharing an easy way to successfully set goals in life and business. When we learn to identify our objectives and stick by them, we are able to achieve our dreams and live full out.
"The most important of all is to figure out what is really the most important and keep it the most important thing to give importance to."
Aplica para todo en la vida. Que privilegio poder verlo y escucharlo.
Great talk with lot of thought provocation. Many thanks John and TED for this video!
A great goal-setting journal on Amazon (Resolutions: Yes; New Year’s Resolutions: NO!:) that has nothing to do with making resolutions that everyone breaks. I bought this little journal on the strength of the title alone.
Great stuff. Thanks John Doerr and thanks TED.
Before you can achieve anything in life, first you have to know what you want, set your goal and make it happen. The power in goal setting is believed to lie in the articulation of the difference between where we are now and where we want to be.
🙌🏼
Excellent speech on OKRs.
John is very well-prepared. A great talk! Choose ambitious goals guided by purposes.
This is amazing, thanks John! 🙌

Very impressive talk on the topic. Yes we can do. Thank you Sir
Sensacional . O TED Talk foi muito interessante. Falou a respeito do OKR e suas aplicações.
John I tell you, you really really taught me something through this lecture it shows that you fell threw some loop holes before you got to the established financial height that you are at now but you excelled to victory. I will take what has been imparted to me through this and draw strongly from it for my better. Thanks for having already been down that path whereby you can point me and others in the right direction toward success I applaud you. Goals should be a normal part of our lives because it's a type of laid out plan to get us to our desired dreams I love what I've heard today!!!! John even at the height that you have gotten to please don't leave God out of your life He is so neccessary to your well being. God bless you from your sister in Christ in Hammond, LA.

Smart talk on how setting the right goals is instrumental to achieve success. Thank you
I love this man,i love Ted.
Thank you. Inspiring & insightful. And, a great reminder that OKRs need to be fueled by a powerful why too!
Hi
Incrível!! Motivador e reflexivo também nos faz pensar se estamos definindo bem as metas, ou melhor temos realmente uma meta? Ela é grandiosa? Nos faz deixar de olhar para os obstáculos e tentar novamente? Não é só definir as metas, é ter o Objetivo e como esse objetivo será alcançando, como será a trajetória até a conquista, para que de fato seja satisfatório a conquista. Método OKR sem sombra de duvidas tornará um método não só para a minha vida profissional, mas também para minha vida pessoal!
Loved this, Thank you 👏💐 x
Great words, enough to change someone's life
The ″why″ is the key of life.

Método sensacional, que pode ser aplicado em varias áreas da vida. para onde queremos ir e como iremos, simples assim...
This is awesome. Just found out about OKR today by chance on a Tom Bilyeu instagram post about 2020 Goals. Looked around and found about John and his book. Will learn more about it to start practicing OKR at my company. Thanks
Ótimo video, explica de forma bem clara e objetiva sobre os objetivos e resultados.
Excelente técnica, mantém a direção em busca de resultados de forma simples e prática .
Ted Talk has done their part and it's up to us to make the difference by taking actions.
Thank u sooo much 4 Persian subtitles
Inspiring video! Goals and objectives will make sure you have your vision for the business set. The power of vision should never be underestimated! I had a vision and grew my business to a multi-million dollar empire. I liked to call it a painted picture--from doom loop to successful mission!
Clear Vision
True success is all about working towards meaningful goals
A implementação consiste em uma pratica simples e objetiva, com o intuito de trazer agilidade e aumento significativos nos resultados.
The OKR of TED is to present such a great thought provoking peoples with their great ideas, So that people can inspire from them and can execute these ideas in their life, So more and more people would subscribe to Ted and make it bigger thought hindering pewdiepie,.
amazing speach
Enthusiastic and impressive talk
Question: who would like to share some of your personal OKRs? I am new to this.
Values: Sharing my projects and making a delightful difference with them. Having freedom in doing so. Working wherever I want. Having no cap on my earning potential. Objectives: Raise some small capital. Find the top 1-3 use cases my product offers that digital creators are hungry for. Use that to position myself in the market and hold that position. Define exactly what the target customer looks like and go after them with prospecting. Follow up with leads and make sales. Delegate better. Key Results: $1k MRR in one month. $3k MRR in 2 months. $10k MRR in 3 months.
Amazing Ted Talk but I do want to see more examples of OKRs, I guess I’ll need to check out his book for that 📖
OKR is the key, at one of my high-result private company I have worked for, we use OKR rather than the KPI.
Yes completely agree to this. If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.
Thank you informative lecture Sir
Informative talk, thank you
Impressive & Insightful talk.
Excelente! Quando se tem paixão pelo objetivo, um sonho bem definido, todo o processo ganha mais clareza. As técnicas OKR ajudam com toda certeza, a termos previsibilidade da situação em que ela é aplicada, muito bom!
Insightful presentation
