Canon
•
Senra: most companies design environments through rules (what you must do). Netflix designs environments through the absence of rules (what you are free to do). The lack of constraints IS the environment — and it attracts a specific type of high-performer.
•
Senra: Hastings founded a software company, then a charter school, then Netflix. His true self was an educator who happened to build entertainment companies. Netflix's culture of radical candor is educational at its core.
