In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Meyer, a professor at INSEAD and the author of the book "No Rules Rules" which is all about the innovative culture at Netflix.  In our conversation, Erin and I talked about the three pillars that make up Netflix's culture: talent density, candor, and freedom. We discussed how the company hires rockstars and pays them more to increase talent density, encourages candid feedback among employees to improve communication and decision-making, and removes traditional management controls like vacation and travel policies to give employees more freedom.  We also talked about the challenges that come with creating such a culture, including how to balance transparency with confidentiality and how to maintain a sense of teamwork without job security. __________ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
