My guest today is Patty McCord. Patty McCord served as chief talent officer of Netflix for 14 years and helped create the Netflix Culture Deck, which has been viewed on Slideshare over 15 million times (Sheryl Sandberg has referred to this deck as “ the most important document ever to come out of the Valley.”). She is also the author of "Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility". In this episode, we talk about:
How Patty uses her time on planes
How her life is different post-Netflix
How Patty prepares for presentations
The key to making unlimited paid leave work
Her commutes to work with Reed Hastings and the critical role this played
Where she conducted most of her one-on-one meetings
The importance of being radically honest at work - and how to get better at it
How to change a culture
Why many companies’ bonus systems are broken
What executives need to expect from their HR people
