No Rules Rules: Netflix's Unique Culture

The book about the approaches and rules that helped shape a flexible, innovative, and profitable business model for Netflix. Co-founder Reed Hastings shares the story of the development of one of the most innovative, creative, and successful companies in the world.
It is hard to imagine modern culture without Netflix — a giant with billion-dollar profits, a leader and revolutionary in the entertainment industry. The company grew from a small DVD rental service largely thanks to its extraordinary corporate culture. The Netflix culture focuses on freedom and responsibility and operates under one rule: no rules. All of this allows the company to remain flexible and keep pace with the age of innovation.
The Netflix culture is unique. In it, people are prioritized over processes, and innovation takes precedence over efficiency. Employees are paid above market rate, but they can be let go (with a generous severance package) for good performance because exceptional results are expected. At any level, they are required to give and receive feedback, and in return, they are given complete freedom: there's no need to get vacation time approved or strictly account for travel expenses. Decisions are made based on the company's best interests rather than the boss's opinion.
How it works and what it looks like from the inside is shared by Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings and his co-author — INSEAD professor Erin Meyer, who conducted numerous interviews with former and current employees of the company. The book inspires and offers a fresh perspective on the goals and means of modern organizations, human resources policies, and much more.
