How does that work? There are two preconditions that make the no rules culture work. Netflix is famous for its “Unlimited vacation” and no approvals culture. Their shareholder value is three times of Google. Since the IPO, the share has gone up 500 times. Today 7900 employees of Netflix make $2.6 million each which nine times of Disney. More recently they started producing their own content – making it their fourth reinvention. This led to their third reinvention of commissioning original content. Streaming services helped them know what the subscribers watch but also how, when, where, when they get bored and pause or when they’re so excited they have to rewind and play the scene again. Netflix moved to streaming videos that was their second reinvention.
Blockbuster laughed at them because they were making tonnes of money whenever viewers forgot to return the DVDs.

Could it be that the workplace norms that exist today are archaic. But I remember that feedback is like exercise and it's those last few crunches, those last few pushups that hurt that make you stronger.No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer is a book about the culture of Netflix. "I thought I had done better in that dimension. "Which, I have to say, even at my level of success, it hurts," Hastings said. A Netflix vice president once told him that he is not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic. Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion," an observation some of his colleagues have told him point-blank. In his interview with NPR, Hastings admitted that the culture can be tough, even on him. "Netflix culture, on the other hand, is famous - or infamous, depending on your point of view - for telling it like it is," writes No Rules Rules co-author Erin Meyer. Hastings says if Netflix had a staid corporate culture, this may not have been the case.
