A Must Read for Managers – Netflix Freedom & Responsibility Culture

August 5, 2009

Culture

View more presentations from reed2001.

I loved this presentation that was leaked by Netflix. Not only is it a great recruitment tool, providing some visibility into what the culture and expectations at Netflix are like, it also espouses the importance of giving employees freedom and flexibility.

I’m less interested in the vacation policy. Being in sales, the vacation policy is whatever you want once you’ve hit your number. Seems like it is the same at Netflix. I’m much more intrigued by the lack of processes and approval at Netflix. It is nice to see a big company encourage smart risk and recognize people appropriately.

It is a must read for anyone that runs a company or builds a team, especially a growing one.

As always, thanks TechCrunch.

  • Good Stuff. Thanks for sharing this with me.

    A unique take on the importance of giving "high-performance" employees the freedom they typically require to excel.

    Im used to seeing salesmen get this freedom, similar to your comment above. Its nice to see a company who considers this an important value for non-sales "high-performance" employees.

    Thanks again
