This is the second part of my interview 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.
Erin shares her insights into the three pillars that make up Netflix's culture: talent density, candor, and freedom. She explains how Netflix 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 discuss the challenges of balancing transparency with confidentiality and maintaining a sense of teamwork without job security. Erin shares examples of how other companies can adopt these principles and make them work for their own organizational culture.
