About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Hard work is irrelevant. Be radically honest. Adequate performance gets a generous severance. 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 125 million fervent subscribers and a market capitalisation bigger than 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 financial approvals, Netflix offers a fundamentally different way to run any organisation, one far more in tune with a 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Masterpiece Management Book
'Sunshine the mistake', 'farming the dissent', ' leading by context', 'increasing talent density', 'keeper test'.. these are some of the many lingering concepts that stayed in my mind after going through this Maverick Masterclass Management Book...
Must confess, over the years, amongst many of us, I have spent many exciting and some not so exciting hours on "Netflix", but nothing compares to quality, insight and fun of time spent on going through the "management story of Netflix".
" No Rules, Rules" is a once in a decade masterpiece management book .., presented in a manner and style that could beat best of the Netflix shows..If you haven't already read it, I bet you should go through it.
Hats off to Reed Hastings and to Erin Meyers ..

Fabulous book, gives a lot of food for thought!
Loved the book, gives a lot of food for thought about where you are, what you aspire to be and a clear pathway to make it happen.
The book is not just relevant to the organisational culture but to you personal life, improving personality and gives a new perspective to see things that you or your team or organisation might have ignored or not considered earlier.

receipe for innovative culture
In a fast and innovative company, ownership of critical, big-ticket decisions should be dispersed across the workforce at all different levels, not allocated according to hierarchical status

The audacity with which basics of a creative culture development have been explained is good.
It covers the pros and cons of basic / classic processes in a sufficient way and how / why Netflix as a business needed a different way of doing things.
The book is irrelevant to many businesses out there, however leaders can take references from some parts of it. A lot of these processes have evolved at Netflix via experimentation.
I personally didn't find anything in the book that wasn't common sense for Netflix's business model, and had anticipated entire chapters.
Good for people who vision to start a highly creative agency/company in a very dynamic environment.
