Reed Hastings

The best way to attract and retain stars is to give them the freedom to do their best work.

If you give employees more freedom, you have to give them more responsibility as well.

Lead with context, not control.

Our culture is not about rules, it’s about inspiring people to do their best work.

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not taking enough risks.

Transparency breeds trust and innovation.

Don’t seek to please your boss; seek to do what’s best for the company.

Adequate performance gets a generous severance package.

Freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin.

Feedback is a gift, not a burden.

Don’t tolerate brilliant jerks. The cost to teamwork is too high.

The keeper test: If a person on your team were to quit tomorrow, would you fight hard to keep them?
