Book of the Week
"At Netflix, we aspire to be a pro-sports team, not a kid's recreational team. Pro sports are excruciatingly demanding, and we reward the best performers lavishly.”
No Rules Rules provides a fascinating look into Netflix's unique culture, where freedom and responsibility coexist to create a productive and creative work environment. Netflix challenges traditional corporates by giving full autonomy to employees and expecting their best work. The book shares how Netflix culture creates (and keeps) a high-performance team.
