Hi,
Many of us are amazed by unicorns.
And I am not talking the mythical creature variety.
It's those companies that go from zero to hero in just a few years.
And end up being valued at over $1 billion.
How do they do that?
It's complex and comes down to many things.
But at the end of the day it comes down to people.
Patty McCord is one of those that knows what type of people and teams that are required to succeed.
And helped create and nurture the unique and high performing culture at Netflix.
So she decided to write a book titled "Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility"
The other day I was lucky enough to have a glimpse between the covers of this industry shaking book before it was released to the market.
It is fascinating and I was surprised by it's insights.
McCord argues that the old standbys of corporate HR such as:
- Annual performance reviews
- Retention plans
- Employee empowerment
- Engagement programs
Often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources.
She advocates and recommends (amongst many other thought provoking ideas):
- Saying good-bye to employees who don't fit the company's emerging needs
- Motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans
- Radical honesty
So.....The book is out now!
Learn the secrets of hiring, motivating and building a powerful company culture from the chief talent officer of Netflix.
Grab your copy
Have a great weekend and be awesome.
Cheers
João
