*** Shortlisted for the 2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year *** It's time to do things differently. Trust your team. Be radically honest. And never, ever try to please your boss. These are some of the ground rules if you work at Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company has transformed itself at lightning speed from a DVD mail order service into a streaming superpower - with 190 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation that rivals the likes of Disney. Finally Reed Hastings, Netflix Chairman and CEO, is sharing the secrets that have revolutionised the entertainment and tech industries. With INSEAD business school professor Erin Meyer, he will explore his leadership philosophy - which begins by rejecting the accepted beliefs under which most companies operate - and how it plays out in practice at Netflix. From unlimited holidays to abolishing approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organisation, one far more in tune with an ever-changing fast-paced world. For anyone interested in creativity, productivity and innovation, the Netflix culture is something close to a holy grail. This book will make it, and its creator, fully accessible for the first time.

Netflix's corporate culture is a must! Whether you're an employee or an employer, this book will give you real insights on how to gain perspective and build a flexible, long lasting and growth-oriented team. It is highly applicable in any situation, and the improvements will hugely outweigh the risks involved in getting out of the corporate comfort of assiduous control.
Good reference material, especially around feedback, even for “process and control” environments.
This was good! Actionable, engaging, compelling. It helps that I am aligned with the idea of providing freedom and responsibility to team members already.
First business book in a whole that hasn't felt redundant.
