24 THE POWER WORKBOOK FOR SETTING EMPLOYEE GOALS AND OKRs
The OKRs philosophy diffentiates itself from the SMART goal philosophy in three meaningful ways.
1. OKRs are Aggressive
While the SMART philosophy stresses setting goals that are attainable

OKR trendsetters Google and Zynga follow similar suit, with Google recommending employees meet about 70 percent of their OKRs each quarter and Zynga expecting employees to hit two of three Key Results each quarter.
