”
The shaping of culture is a critical leadership responsibility, as I have discussed on many occasions. One of the best examples of this is the observation made by Lou Gerstner, the former IBM CEO who is credited with its turnaround, in his book on the turnaround "Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance?” wrote that…
“I came to see in my time at IBM that ‘culture’ isn’t just one aspect of the game – it is the game.”
It seems that Netflix understands who importance culture is in their business. This post discusses how serious Netflix are about creating a culture that support their success. To support their journey they have published a 128-page presentation called “Reference Guide on our Freedom & Responsibility Culture” that was sent around the company, and then put on SlideShare.
After going through the presentation, you get the feeling that Netflix intends to be different to other companies and as a result to behave differently to other large companies.
