Netflix stands apart not only for revolutionizing the entertainment industry and generating billions in revenue but also for its unique management principles that challenge traditional norms. Hastings prioritized people over processes, fostering an environment where innovation trumps efficiency. At Netflix, mediocre performance is met with generous severance, and employees are encouraged to engage in radical candor rather than merely seeking to please their bosses.

Hastings, alongside Erin Meyer, a renowned business thinker, explores the controversial philosophies that define Netflix's identity and have led to enviable results in the business world. Drawing on extensive interviews with current and former employees and personal anecdotes from Hastings' career, this account reveals the intriguing and untold story of a company that has made a significant impact worldwide.
