Reed Hastings on Culture of Innovation
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 | commentary
Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, made his first batch of millions building a company that merged with another. Things went downhill for the combined company as bureaucracy set in. He then spent two years thinking about what went wrong.
This remarkable deck on Netflix corporate culture reflects what he figured out in those two years. It’s longish, but worth grabbing a cup of tea, closing your door, and taking time to reflect upon each slide and what it says about your company.
Reed Hastings has been added to my list of heroes.

Thanks for posting this. I had seen it (via Twitter, maybe) and thought it was blogworthy but couldn’t really figure out what to say that would encapsulate its importance and relevance. You did a beautiful job with this post.
