## Description

In powerful, Patty br>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.Br>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.

Review: Awesome read. - Turns an abstract subject like culture building into concrete steps. Culture is how strategy gets executed. Strongly recommend that you read it
Review: Like a breath of fresh air - I really liked this book - a lot! Most of the 'building teams' books are about communication, empathy, culture and so on. While Patty does cover all of these - she is also brutally honest about the realities of running a business. For instance, she says that 'We don't consider our employees as family but more like a sports team'. A sports team is always bringing in new talent and culling team mates who can't keep up! It's so rare to read a sentence like this in a book about building a culture. I also really liked her take on cultural artifacts (you know - the kegs, massages, etc.) and how they don't make employees work harder or be more committed to the organization. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is that most of the book is about Netflix - granted a great organization but right way to build a team is so contextual that lessons from Netflix or other start ups (which are inherently disruptive - and so have a compelling vision) may not be applicable to other industries or companies. But a great read nevertheless.
