About the book
Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer, an INSEAD professor and author of The Culture Map, set out the management principles behind the company's culture of freedom and responsibility. Netflix began in 1998 by renting DVDs online and has reinvented itself repeatedly, a flexibility the authors tie to choices Hastings made early: valuing people over process, putting innovation ahead of efficiency and giving employees context rather than controls. The book describes practices such as having no vacation or expense policies, offering a generous severance for adequate performance, and expecting candid feedback instead of efforts to please the boss. It was shortlisted for the 2020 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year.
Ray Dalio called Reed Hastings, his people and his culture all of star quality and recommended the book.
