The Investor's Shelf — one person
JD
John Doerr
Chairman of the venture firm Kleiner Perkins, where he led investments in Google, Amazon, Intuit and Sun Microsystems.
Measure What Matters documents the objectives-and-key-results system Andy Grove built at Intel and Doerr carried into Google, with the mechanics that make it work - how objectives are set, how key results are graded, and why they are kept separate from compensation. Speed and Scale applies the same goal structure to decarbonisation targets and to the climate companies venture investors now fund.
