Follow the rollercoaster journey of TeaBee, a startup founded by tea-obsessed entrepreneurs Hannah and Jack, as they navigate early-stage business chaos and discover the transformative power of OKR (Objective and Key Results). When internal conflicts, misaligned priorities, and stagnant growth threaten to derail their dream, veteran investor Jim Frost introduces them to the radical focus framework that saved Intel from collapse. Through trial and error—from botched initial OKR implementations to refining their approach with a single core goal, measurable key results, and weekly accountability check-ins—TeaBee evolves from a disjointed team into a high-performing unit that hits bold targets, secures funding, and stays true to its mission. Packed with real-world startup stories, actionable strategies, and Silicon Valley insights, this book teaches you to cut through noise, align your team, and turn ambitious goals into tangible results, whether you’re leading a startup or a corporate team.
