• Hire people who put Netflix’s interest first.
• Vacation days and the expense policy was designed keeping this
aspect in mind.

• Have conversations about performance as an organic part of
their work and eliminate formal review structure.
• Reveal the truth about performance and be ready to let people
go

recruiting, compensation are some factors affecting the same.
4. Leaders own the job of creating the company culture
• Mismatch between values and behavior, understanding the
levers of the business, recognizing subcultures
