„Než přišel Netflix, nikdy předtím neexistovala společnost jako Netflix.“ Tato revoluční firma generuje miliardové roční příjmy a oslovuje stovky milionů lidí ve více než 190 zemích. Klíčovým faktorem úspěchu je kultura nastavená Reedem Hastingsem, která může na první pohled působit radikálně. Díky této kultuře zaměřené na svobodu a odpovědnost se Netflix dostal na vrchol. V tomto světovém bestselleru spoluzakladatel Hastings odhaluje vnitřní fungování Netflixu: jak nastavuje nové standardy, váží si lidí více než procesů, upřednostňuje inovace před efektivitou a zaměstnance nekontroluje. Neexistují žádná pravidla pro dovolenou ani výdaje. Zaměstnanci se nesnaží potěšit své nadřízené, ale poskytují upřímnou zpětnou vazbu. Tyto neobvyklé metody vedly k bezkonkurenční rychlosti inovací a Netflix se stal jednou z nejoblíbenějších značek na světě. Tato kniha je výbornou a čtivou byznysovou příručkou, která dramaticky proplétá historii Netflixu. Je určena pro ty, kdo vedou týmy, firmy, budují startupy nebo pracují v organizacích, které chtějí zlepšovat.
