Today I had the possibility to read a book a bit outside of what I do today. I used to read a lot of leadership books when I gave my old course in Start-ups. Well, enough of the history. So, I’ve read the book, and it was really nice.
It is a book about modern leadership style from Netflix. It’s written from a perspective of the manager of Netflix (Reed Hastings), but it is commented by a business school professor Erin Mayer (https://erinmeyer.com). It’s a very interesting reading as it provides an account of how leadership of Netflix has evolved over time to what it is today.
Empowerment and flat leadership structure are at the core of this style, but they evolved continuously over years. Candor was the first new leadership style that was introduced and it’s something that all organizations would use. Even universities.
If you are a fan of just Netflix, here is another book that I’ve already reviewed – https://www.amazon.se/That-Will-Never-Work-co-founder/dp/1913068218/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2Q7D6MN6KE682&keywords=netflix&qid=1694855144&sprefix=netflix%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-9 , which has been written from the perspective of one of the founders of Netflix, but not Reed.
Stay safe, stay tuned!
