I am late getting to this presentation from Netflix about the culture they aim to create and maintain at their organization.  Regardless of being late to the party I found this read fascinating.  It’s great that companies are rethinking the environment they are creating for their workers.  Also it’s a careful coordination of what your organizational values are and how those benefit your business. 

One part of this that really intrigued me was the idea that a simple business model coupled with high-performers can actually avoid stagnation.  I sure many people have witnessed how large organizations can essentially get in their own way.  

I also really like having principles in place about how individuals should contribute, learn and grow, it’s something more organizations need to consider.  It’s not training or brainwashing it’s the right people and aligning them to what will make an effective culture.  Netflix’s principles also reminded me of CP+B’s company handbook

Enjoy!
