Recommendation

Netflix set out to create a corporate “culture of reinvention” that would be capable of adjusting on the fly, moving in tune with fast-paced technological change in the marketplace and innovating for the future. Legendary CEO Reed Hastings encourages his employees to be frank in their feedback about his leadership. The results through the years of his stewardship are stunning. Author, venture capitalist and a16z Podcast host Ben Horowitz interviews Hastings to gain his insights into building a global creative culture.

Take-Aways

  • “Culture” is made up of the behavior that a company rewards.
  • Netflix works to create a corporate culture that transcends national boundaries and traditions.
  • While most companies emphasize efficiency, Netflix “optimizes” for flexibility and innovation.
