When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams, Patty McCord says most companies have it all wrong. McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley.
McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don’t fit the company’s emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. McCord argues that the old standbys of corporate HR—annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs—often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability.
Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run.

- Treat folks like adults and model the behavior you expect
- Sometimes you hire folks to do a job and they do it. There's no shame if either side needs to move on after that.
- You need to look ahead and build the team you need in 6 months. The team you have might not have all the right skills.
- If you need to let someone go for poor performance, that should not be a surprise to person because both sides should be working on the problem ahead of time.
I enjoyed Patty's tone - no nonsense and cuts right through the typical corp/HR babble.
And it was fun to learn about some of Netflix's history along the way.
