Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention
Book • 2020
In this book, Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer explore the counterintuitive management culture that has driven Netflix's success.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees, the book provides actionable lessons for leaders on how to build and maintain a highly innovative and adaptable organizational culture.
