Netflix corporate "values"

[Russ Abbott]

Here's a 128 (!) slide presentation of Netflix corporate value -- especially with respect to employees. It's worth looking at when thinking about how organizations might run themselves. As the presentation points out, it applies to organizations that are in the "creative-inventive market, not a safety-critical market like medicine or nuclear power." Even so, it's probably useful for any organization to consider some of these strategies. One of them, for example, is that Netflix has no vacation plan—people can take as much time off as they like as long as their work gets done.

P.S. It's not all wonderful. It sounds like there may be a lot of pressure to be a "superstar."
