PENGUIN No Rules Rules: Netflix And The Culture Of Reinvention

I thought the book was really really boring maybe it was because I read it straight after reading Lights Out a fascinating read and well written business book on GE. The book starts with a netflix slide Unlike many companies we practice, "Adequate performance gets a generous severance package" It turns out generous to them is 4 months paid. and thats for getting kicked out for doing a fair days work. I worked in France, Holland and Ireland you would do well to get rid of somebody who didn't merit a sacking with 2 YEARS pay and after that they would come back with a case of constructive dismissal and look for another 2 years pay. Good luck to Netflix in Europe if there other 127 slides are like that. In truth the book is a yawn its sounds like more like a story about a big ego CEO than anything else and the book actually put me off ever signing up for the company product......cheers

A bit of a snooze and not enough content for a book. If you Google for the Netflix Culture deck you’ll get pretty much the same content. Also, Patty McCord’s book covers the same ground.I guess I was hoping for ‘The Story of Netflix’ but this is very much a management book. Not bad but if you know the culture already then you won’t learn much.

This book was recommended by a friend and I must say it was a great suggestion.With no doubt Netflix is one of the most popular companies right now and the view on internal management is very interesting.Online can be found a lot of comments on the unlimited holidays for example but none will give the insight and purpose as the founder himself.The approach do not seem easily applicable in other companies unless structural changes are implemented but are worth been thought of

If you like business books, I would recommend reading this one. The culture at Netflix is one of a kind. The book is very well written and captured me.

I would recommend this book to anyone who's into business, but also to anyone who works for a company. It will open your eyes on how good management works and on how every company should operate to be successful. Very well written and engaging to be a business book!
