Netflix Culture: how to be creative, powerful, and big
I was blown away when I read through this internal slide deck from Netflix. This is the blueprint for a creative culture that values employee effectiveness, freedom, and results. It’s a plan for growth that can avoid the institutionalization and ossification that comes with risk-aversion. As I read this, I realized this is as close a description of the culture in which I want to work as I’ve ever seen. I am exceedingly impressed with Netflix for doing this kind of thinking and staying true to it. Bravo.

You really think so?
I don’t find a 128-slide deck a very good means of conveying culture. They have 9 ‘values’ with 36 sub-points!
At Atlassian, we have 5 “in your face” core values, and a video to match: http://www.atlassian.com/about
I think that the medium says a lot about the culture, too.

Fascinating, i just sent a link out to a lot of people i know to at least read it. I don’t think I agree with all of it, but really interesting.

I found quite a lot in this slide deck that I am drawn to, and it articulates for me many of the reasons for problems where I work. I am inspired and challenged. Thanks for sharing it.
