Powerful: The Five Practices Of Netflix Culture
- Open, clear and constant communication: across the entire company about the work to be done and challenges being faced.
- Radical honesty: telling one another, and management, the truth in a timely fashion and ideally face to face.
- Debating based on fact-based opinions: at Netflix, employees are expected to have strong, fact-based opinions and to debate them avidly and test them rigidly.
- Customer and company first: people base their actions on what’s best for the customer and the company, not on attempts to prove themselves right.
- Preparing teams for the future: The right skills with potential.
