• Time to do things differently. 
• Trust your team. 
• Speak your mind with absolute honesty. 
• And never, ever try to please your boss.

These are some of the basic rules if you work for Netflix. They are part of a unique cultural experiment that explains how the company managed to transform itself from a DVD mailing service to a streaming giant - with over 190 million loyal subscribers and a market capitalization that rivals Disney's.

Reed Hastings, CEO and co-founder of Netflix, reveals the secrets that revolutionized the entertainment and technology industry in this book. In collaboration with Erin Meyer, professor of Business Administration at INSEAD, he analyzes the philosophy that guides his leadership at the company - which is based on rejecting conventional wisdom on which most businesses operate - and how it is applied in practice at Netflix.

From unlimited vacations for employees to the elimination of approval processes, Netflix follows a radically different way of operating, one that is much more in line with our rapidly evolving world. The book offers unique access to this distinctive organization for anyone interested in creativity, productivity, and innovation.
