In Powerful, Patty McCord shares what she learned at Netflix and elsewhere in Silicon Valley. Advocating the practice of 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 humour 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.

Life of Worker

The foundation of a great business book is a great story and boy does Patty McCord have a great story. She joined Netflix right at the start, carpooled into work with the CEO each day and spent 14 years pioneering a radically performance focused HR approach. What makes her journey especially exciting and valuable is that her experience at Netflix isn’t just a reaction to the unique circumstances Netflix was in pioneering a new market and a new technology. Its the fact that McCord and CEO Reed Hastings set out from the start to build a company based on a different approach to people. So this isn’t the Netflix story told from a people and HR perspective, the Netflix story was always going to be told from a people and HR perspective, that’s what makes what happened at Netflix so valuable as a case study for everyone else.

Powerful was written by Patty Mccord, a chief talent officer for Netflix for 14 years. Really recommend it for those of you who work with HR and entrepreneurs.
The author share with us newer modern idea for company to think about, and maybe if it is suitable they can try and follow it.
Some of the cool things she do in Netflix is start the annual feedback day, with 3 steps feedback, start-stop-continue. Really something to ponder.
