When it comes to OKRs, nothing predicts success like patience and flexibility. And on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines we find out why from Elie Casamitjana, Co-Founder and CEO of Impactivs and the visionary behind OKRmentors. A globally recognized expert in all things OKR, he joins Host Jenny Herald to explore the kinds of workplace cultures best suited to implementing this change management framework, especially during challenging economic times. He's sharing thoughts on fostering engagement and lessons learned about the best predictors for – and deterrents to – successful adoption.Key Things Discussed: The difference between vertical and horizontal approaches when it comes to effective implementation of OKRs across varying geographies and cultures. What Elie considers some of the basic prerequisites for companies that want to ensure sustainable change management. How rigid, top-down workplace cultures generate resistance to the OKR methodology – while agility and communication are precursors of success. Why OKR frameworks can be applied with great results in times of crisis – if leadership understands how to be nimble and bring the whole team along. Show Notes [00:00:30] Origin Story: How Elie first incorporated OKRs to inspire and empower distributed teams all working together to build, launch and manage tech products. [00:02:40] What Drives Elie: Why a desire to effect change and equip teams to fulfill their social and environmental missions has been foundational to starting up both Impactivs consulting and OKRmentors' certified trainings and master classes. [00:04:15] Emerging Network: A closer look at the OKR Forum International and other ways in which evangelists are pooling their expertise to train and connect practitioners. [00:06:00] The story behind Elie's book: "La méthode OKR : Objectives & Key Results - le guide pratique (Le management en pratique)," a practical guide to managing OKRs. [00:07:40] Vertical v. Horizontal: Why cultural and geographical nuances require understanding and programming that accommodates varying workplace styles.  [00:09:30] Prerequisites that set the stage for OKR adoption success: An agile approach that integrates fluid, bottom-up planning and adaptation A clearly defined champion (or team) consistently leading the charge and keeping things on track Upfront understanding that iterations are unavoidable and to be expected Thoughtful, deliberate strategies around team engagement and buy-in [00:12:05] Elie's Take on Common Misconceptions about the OKR Methodology: We've already defined our goals. (The process in fact goes far beyond goal-setting or objectives to integrate practically and operationally.) We're already using more than enough KPIs to measure results. (All indicators are not created the same nor do they all incorporate necessary priorities.) OKRs are set and forget – a glorified “to do” list. (This completely misses the importance of active discussion and the iterative process necessary for success.) [00:15:45] Culture & Need: OKR adoption works less well for organizations that are: Managed primarily top-down Committed to rigid long-term planning Resistant to transparency and communication Reluctant to empower teams and give them autonomy Already running smoothly and not interested in implementing transformation [00:18:33] Recession Preparedness: How OKRs can be kept relevant and deployed as effective tools for clear, agile decision-making and realignment in fluid crisis situations. [00:22:35] Why Recovery (and Staying Nimble) Matters: OKRs are a means, not an end, when it comes to adjusting focus, reinventing value props and maintaining relationships. [00:25:43] Elie Shares a Successful OKR Case Study:Significant ROI achieved by helping to define strategic goals and operational variables (like packaging and pricing) at Wecandoo, a French platform supporting a global marketplace for craftspeople and artisans to share their expertise. [00:29:36] There Will Be Challenges: How (especially legacy companies) often struggle with change management and why communication problems demand … more communication to clarify, engage, excite, promote empathy and foster long-term buy-in across teams and departments. [00:32:48] What Sustained Change Management Absolutely Requires:  An investment of time. Leadership and effective sponsorship. Robust, repetitive, ongoing communication. Patience with the process! [00:39:57] Quick-Fire Questions for Elie: What's your Dream With a Deadline? Inspiring mission-driven leaders committed to making a better, healthier world the mainstream standard. Why are you so passionate about OKRs? They provide a simple framework to take missions from vision into action and reality. What was your greatest strategic execution fail and what did you learn? Change works best when people feel like they are part of the decision-making process – a lesson learned by having unsuccessfully tried the top-down approach! What do you think is the future for OKRs? The more they are integrated across industries and leadership styles, the more the framework will become a seamless part of the organic fabric of workplace cultures. What advice would you have given to your earlier self about the OKR practice? Surround yourself with good support and expertise! What is a book that has largely shaped how you think? It's a mix of books, podcasts and other media highlighting the stories of entrepreneurs and leaders who have demonstrated resilience and the ability to make change happen!  What's your current favorite podcast?

Some of them include: “I've got something important to say and you have to hear me” (7:50). “I had to be able to start to learn which audiences could hear me and which audiences I was entertainment for” (8:20). “You just have to stop doing stupid stuff that doesn't matter anymore” (9:30). “I'm a shameless copier” (10:35). “One of these days the right people are going to be in the room, and this is going to happen. Why not me?” (12:50). “Your job as a manager is to create an amazing team that does fabulous work on behalf of the customer on time and with quality” (14:30). “We get so left-brained that we forget about creativity” (18:40). “I'm curious about creating space for people to think differently” (16:50). “We especially get stuck when we get scared” (17:00). “I hate the phrase ‘best practices.' It just means what everybody else does” (20:55). “You can draw ideas and inspiration from everybody, and everybody should” (24:55). “Leaders are people who other people want to follow. A manager is somebody who builds the work and organizes the team to build great stuff” (26:20). “If you want them to follow, then god dammit lead” (28:55). “You want to know why I make so much money? Because my decisions are consistently right” (33:00). “Beginning with the end in mind [is key to making good decisions]” (34:00). “I think that the word loyalty is old fashioned, and I think that it's not critical, but I think it's important when times are tough” (41:50). “The mark I want to make in my life is about creating environments where people can do their best work” (48:30). “The relationship between work and family is a never-ending one” (53:10). “My life work is a really different thing than it used to be, and that's perfectly fine with me” (58:50).   Additionally, you can find Patty's website here, and can also follow her on social media @pattymccord1.

Key Things Discussed The crucial mindset shift that must occur in shifting to a new model. Three components necessary to set teams up for long-term success. Data analytics, education and why OKRs depend on bringing teams along. Common organizational problems that OKRs quickly uncover and highlight. Elements to develop and instill for better (not more) management. The pitfalls of a cascading management style. Setting the stage for successful OKR implementation. Show Notes [00:02:44] A quick hello to this episode's guest, OKR expert Felipe Castro. [00:03:59] Why OKR? Customers give lots of reasons – ranging from weak (the boss read a book or everyone's doing it) to borderline vague (accountability or transparency). [00:04:36] The Tinkerbell Approach: The common misperception (or delusion!) that a little bit of fairy dust is all it takes to take a traditional enterprise to Google-level OKR success. [00:05:34] Adopting OKR is not a goal in and of itself. It's a transformational tool to help organizations be more competitive, adaptive and normative in the 21st century. [00:06:19] Successful OKR implementations require that organizations do three key things: Demonstrate commitment and consistency over time. Learn how to execute the system in practice. Accept that old models and experience will have to be unlearned.   [00:07:36] Three components necessary to set teams up for success:  Access to the data (liberate it from the silos!). Clarity about the core business metrics and strategy. Knowledge of data analytics and statistics. [00:09:44] Felipe shares some of the common organizational problems that OKRs quickly uncover and highlight: Lack of clarity about goals. Lack of grounding in the strategy behind projects. Managers who don't provide clear context. [00:11:04] Elements to develop and instill for better (not more) management: Leadership (based on new rather than old business models) Problem-solving skills. An ability to both offer and communicate trust. Permission to get inspired and inspire others. [00:14:32] Felipe explains why part of the beauty in OKRs is that they don't take a one-size-fits all approach. Rather, it's a flexible philosophy that can be tailored and tweaked based on a huge range of factors across industries and organizational cultures.  [00:18:44] OKRs may vary, but there remain common foundational building blocks.  [00:19:44] Felipe shares his take on cascading management: 100% top-down. Lacks agility. Creates silos. Discourages inter-departmental collaboration. Fails to provide clearly defined, measurable goals. [00:24:44] It's a journey! Felipe explains the (necessarily imperfect) process of establishing OKRs and bringing everyone along. [00:27:52] Stumbling Blocks: Felipe shares one OKR scenario that commonly occurs at large companies (overattachment to a business case or spreadsheet) and another that often besets smaller companies (data availability bias). [00:31:02] Better tools create better outcomes. But not without a holistic approach that includes a commitment to educating and enabling teams.  [00:33:44] Don't leave talent on the table! Give teams the tools they need! [00:35:06] Elements that set the stage for successful OKR implementation: Ensure that teams understand the metrics and data fundamentals. Establish weekly one-to-ones for continuous feedback. Ongoing coaching and development. Adoption of advanced engineering technologies to improve processes. Regular customer feedback interviews. Established systems to test, experiment and collect data for nimble decision-making. [00:39:30] Felipe shares his evolving thoughts on what capabilities are critical to successful OKR implementation at traditional organizations, including the need for a bridge between old and new business models (in spite of inevitable hiccups and cultural challenges). [00:43:30] The Finer Points of Performance: Standards for evaluation are as variable as team and individual roles, responsibilities and contributions. Beware tying bonus structures and compensation to measures that are inefficient, inaccurate or illogical. [00:49:59] Why individual goals can be a huge liability and disincentive. [00:51:22] Defining calibration and how it level sets performance reviews. [00:52:44] Quick Fire Questions for Felipe: What do you appreciate most about your team? Passion and commitment. What is your greatest dream and its associated deadline? To facilitate a second edition (with new contributions/examples) of the classic John Doerr book, "Measure What Matters: The revolutionary movement behind the explosive growth of Intel, Google, Amazon and Uber." No deadline since it's up to the author!  Can you describe an experience or situation that made you proud? It's a feeling that arises whenever organizations adopt, evangelize for and continue to use OKR tools in the long term – which fortunately for Felipe has been a common occurrence! What's the most important word of advice you can give people who want to try OKRs but feel wary? They are not a “to do” list. It's about the outcomes you want to achieve and creating data-driven, measurable benefits for your customers, your company and your employees.

About the book 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. Source: https://pattymccord.com/book/ About the author Patty McCord brings the Silicon Valley concepts of fresh ideas and innovation and applies them to rethinking the way we work. She challenges norms and invites us to reconsider the idea of “best practices.” From her many years working with companies that range from very large global tech companies to small very small innovative start-ups, Patty saw first-hand how companies can become slow and complacent and employees become cynics and whiners. She spent 14 years at Netflix experimenting with new ways to work. Making the Netflix culture deck become reality for the people who work there. From abolishing performance reviews to challenging the need for policies, Patty believes people come to work as fully formed adults with a desire to make an impact and be proud of what they do and she's on a mission to spread the word that we can do this differently. She is frequently in the media with interviews and articles from Harvard Business Review, NPR, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal. She speaks at CEO Forums, Business schools and for large groups around the world. Source: https://pattymccord.com/about-patty/   Big idea #1 — Your employees are adults Your employees have power, but only if you don't take it away. There's been a big theme for a number of years around employee empowerment. We only need to empower employees if we disempowered them in the first place. Netflix wasn't built on elaborate systems. They kept stripping away policies, but they did it experimentally. This doesn't therefore create a ‘free for all', which is usually what people freak out and assume is going to happen when you start removing policies and procedures. Instead it removes the ‘senseless bureaucracy and stupid processes', and instead focuses on discipline and behaviour. This is what the Netflix culture deck is. It's a summary of the behaviours that they expected people to be disciplined about in their time working for Netflix.  Patty's belief is that a business leader's job is to ‘create great teams that do amazing work on time'. That's it. We don't need loads of policies and processes and practices in order to do that, we just need to create the environment where people can do their best work. And even more so to create a company where people want to come in and ‘solve these problems with these people', which is one of the phrases that Reid Hoffman used when he was describing to Patty the company culture that he wanted to create. Now it's worth noting that Patty was at huge tech companies before Netflix. She was at SunMicrosystems for a number of years, which is a huge, traditional tech company. She wasn't always in this super cool startup Netflix kind of place. She says in the book that she often in her previous life she had implemented some of the policies and procedures that she eventually began to question, as she began to realise they just weren't effective, and therefore were a huge waste of time and resources.   Hey, have you subscribed to the bookmark newsletter?

Click here to subscribe.   Big idea #2 — The principles These are lessons that Patty learn about how to instill principles and behaviors of high performance in teams and set a culture in an organisation. All teams and companies are different, so you can't just lift the Netflix culture deck and adopt it as your own, but these five principles seem to be common and true and underlying whatever the ‘culture deck' would look like for a company: We want to clear, open, constant communication about the work to be done and the challenges being faced. Not only for manager's own team, but for the company as a whole. We want people to practice radical honesty, telling one another, and us, the truth in a timely fashion. And ideally face-to-face. We want people to have strong fact-based opinions and debate them avidly and test them rigorously.  We want people to base their actions on what was best for the customer and the company, not on attempts to prove themselves right. We want hiring managers to take the lead in preparing their teams for the future by making sure they had high performers with the right skills in every position. (Can you imagine if this was the case in all companies, it would be utopia), All of this shows the underlying principles of discipline, and creating the environment, the systems and the conversations that allow that to sustain. None of those require endless policies and practices. One thing that Patty is really strong about in the book is about your people. really knowing and understanding the business. Your people aren't going to make the best decisions, and possibly behave in the correct/desired way if they don't know the business. Knowing what you're striving for, what you're aiming for, what's important, and what's not is even more important than any learning curriculum. Help people understand, which will help give them the discipline to decide, act, and behave in the way that's best for the customer and the business. Big idea #3 — Create debate One of the principles was around creating strong fact-based opinions to debate them avidly and test them rigorously, and also that the point of a debate was not about you being ‘right'. They took this very seriously in Netflix. In her HR role Patty regularly tested “best practices” or “conventional wisdom”, and experimented by removing things, seeing what happened, tweaking, testing, and then putting things back in or taking more things out. The Netflix exec team would orchestrate debates in front of each other, including having to argue the other side or different position to the one they maybe wanted to take or they believed in. They would also do this publicly in monthly debates in the Netflix theatre, where they would invite all of the staff to come and watch the debate a particular real business challenge they were facing at the moment. This was no role play just for the sake of doing it. Part of this was to show that there's no easy or obvious answer to hard questions, particularly at that strategic level, so it helped people see that there were multiple different, equally good directions, that decisions could go in and that it's hard to decide which one to do. This is a great way of role-modelling debate, and really powerful to show debate for the best betterment of the company, the customer experience, the clients, whatever it happens to be, and not for personal gain / being ‘right'. Patty says this was much more powerful than any conflict related course or debate course that companies send their employees too. Because they're seeing in real life, they're seeing it in the context of the work that they are doing, and importantly that they can see that this is all in service of getting the right outcome for the company and the customer.

She also speaks to groups and teams around the world.During their conversation, Adam and Patty dive into all of the change that has come about in the workplace since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Within 48 hours, leaders went from believing that remote work could never work for them to being fully remote companies. And it worked.Patty believes the pandemic has also transformed the way leaders should view work, enabling them to pay closer attention to final results and the work that's being done rather than solely on effort and productivity. It's shown them that their employees can do the stuff that needs to get done without having to be watched, and it's instilled a greater sense of accountability into their teams.Adam and Patty also talk about the importance of note forgetting the lessons we've learned in this season. As the world begins to return to a sense of normalcy, Patty warns that we will lose it all unless we pay attention and ask ourselves the questions: What have we learned here, and what is working?Episode Links:https://pattymccord.comhttps://twitter.com/pattymccord1https://www.amazon.com/Powerful-Leaders-Culture-Freedom-Responsibility/dp/1939714095Order your copy of Start With A Win: Tools and Lessons to Create Personal and Business Success:https://www.startwithawin.com/bookConnect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ Leave us a voicemail:888-581-4430

Many of which can be summed up in her algorithm for success: “Is what you love to do—that you’re extraordinarily good at doing—something this company needs someone to be great at?” She and Skip touch on some tough subjects, including how to approach radical honesty with grace, incorporate listening into leadership and how doing hard things is often more important than being happy at work.

Radical honesty - an open and authentic contribution, which lacks the intention of causing unnecessary pain and suffering, but serves to provide a mirror in which we can clearly reflect on the aspects of ourselves to which we are blind. On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry is joined by Patty McCord, former chief talent officer of Netflix, renowned for pioneering the use of radical honesty in the workplace. With her new book, Powerful:Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, Patty aims to clearly define the best path for creating workplace cultures of high performance and profitability. In this conversation, Jerry and Patty consider how the implementation of radical honesty in our organizations serves to forge solid, supportive spaces where workplace safety is no longer defined solely by the assurance of employment, but contains space for team members to feel seen, heard and nourished to grow. Where skill sets are broadened, and diverse people with different ways of thinking come together without fear or expectation to judge or be judged. Wouldn’t that be a more powerful way of working?

On this episode of “Leadership is a Competitive Advantage” I have the former chief talent officer at Netflix – Patty McCord – on the line to talk about her book “Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility.” (The book is shortly going to be published in Estonian – “Jõud: kuidas luua vabadusest ja vastutusest kantud töökultuuri” – as well.) During her 14-year tenure at Netflix, Patty found that people are far more engaged and productive when trusted and treated as responsible adults. As the “COO of Culture” at Netflix (this is how she actually calls herself), Patty was the driving force behind the company’s famous “culture deck” that outlines an operating principle based on high-performing employees who behave and reason like responsible adults. Tune in to find out how to create a culture of high performance in an organization. And – for those of you interested in getting more of Patty – I am really glad that Patty will join us at the Estonian Human Resource Management Association's annual conference this spring as one of the keynote speakers. “The reason why I wrote the book was to say that it does not have to be the way it has always been. I wanted to give people permission to experiment with the way we work and not assume that the way we have always done it is the best way to do it just because we have got use to it – and then we call it ‘best practices’. Probably on top of the list of the words I hate in HR jargon is ‘empowerment’. It assumes that you can give people power. And I tease HR people and I say ‘really, seriously, who gave you the magic wand’? If I stop and think about it then the reason we have to go around empowering people now is because we took it all away. Why is it that we think that IQ diminishes from the executive suite to the rank-and-file people that work for you? You know, people actually walk in the door with power every day. No matter what work you do, you walk in the door as an adult and you have responsibilities like everybody else and I believe in my bones that everyone wants to go home at the end of the day and tell their roommate, partner or pet it was a great day at work today! We did this! Everybody wants to accomplish great things, that is what motivates people. If we start with the premise that everyone walking in from the door has power and is an adult who can reason, and we insist that they act like an adult with power who can reason, then the world changes a lot. Everything changes. Otherwise what happens is that we take these fully formed adults and we surround them with all these rules, guidelines and permissions that treat them like children and then we are surprised when they act like that. We need to give them back the power they already have. We need to stop taking it away at every turn.” – Patty McCord Enjoy!

My guest today is Patty McCord. Patty McCord served as chief talent officer of Netflix for 14 years and helped create the Netflix Culture Deck, which has been viewed on Slideshare over 15 million times (Sheryl Sandberg has referred to this deck as “ the most important document ever to come out of the Valley.”). She is also the author of "Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility". In this episode, we talk about:How Patty uses her time on planesHow her life is different post-NetflixHow Patty prepares for presentationsThe key to making unlimited paid leave workHer commutes to work with Reed Hastings and the critical role this playedWhere she conducted most of her one-on-one meetingsThe importance of being radically honest at work - and how to get better at itHow to change a cultureWhy many companies’ bonus systems are brokenWhat executives need to expect from their HR peopleFind Patty at pattymccord.com, check out her book Powerful (https://www.amazon.com/Powerful-Building-Culture-Freedom-Responsibility/dp/1939714095) and take a look at the Netflix Culture deck (https://jobs.netflix.com/culture).Visit amanthaimber.com/podcast for full show notes from all episodes.Get in touch at amantha@inventium.com.au See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sometimes we get so bogged down hyper-analyzing the simplest questions, that we miss the obvious answers. “Do you love your job?” Your answer determines whether or not you’ve found the right place to cultivate your ever-evolving career, and it’s time to talk about it. Join our host/resident HR nerd and her guest, the former head of talent at Netflix (back when it was a mail-order DVD company — years before “Netflix and chill”) Patty McCord as they dive deep into understanding the world of work now, its future, and why you have to take charge of your career. So, who is Patty McCord and why is she a big deal? For starters, she created the Netflix Culture Deck, which is a PowerPoint deck on culture that went viral years ago and is downright legendary in the business world. She is the HR equivalent of Margaret Mead, with her cultural anthropologist approach to the wonderful (if sometimes nasty) world of work. Since leaving to forge her own path in 2012, Patty has been working hard to change the infrastructure of corporate culture at several high-level companies to create the positive change she wanted to see in society. Patty is a feminist, thought leader, author, and an advocate of practicing radical honesty to move past the fundamentally broken way we manage people at work. Her book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, which is pretty much the hitchhiker’s guide to understanding Netflix’s work culture has been (as the title suggests) a powerful tool in transforming companies into high performing and high earning organizations. Laurie and Patty share a conversation full of wisdom bombs — often touching upon the kinds of lessons you probably already know but all too often forget to pay much attention to. The way we manage people is an HR nightmare. How are workers even expected to stay and love their jobs when they’re not treated like professionals? Seriously, these folks aren’t children, they deserve a better working environment where they are free to own their career and commit to their work. Those times when employees went home saying: “Work was great today!” There is a way to replicate that. It’s called: “Let your professionals do the work they’re GREAT at!” If they’re not doing a great job, then they’re not a good fit, and that’s on you. Hiring the right person for the job boils down to finding fully-formed adults. Since the world of work is always changing, you have to get people who are already whole and are ready to evolve with the company. What’s the future of work and how does automation fit in all this? Don’t fear the future, don’t fear the unknown. Learn to say, “Things are changing. Is it better? How can we make it better?” There’s always room for improvement and that should be the goal of any scaling company. The key takeaway from this episode is the more we learn to adapt and grow, the better off we’ll be as employers and employees. There’s really no point in subjecting yourself to the sheer torture of working for an organization that doesn’t treat you right. When you’re not being treated right, then you’re not in the right place. Laurie and Patty are firm believers in owning your career and calling the shots, so get on with it — you’re a professional, own your career.

Patty McCord, Former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, joins host Laura Zarrow to discuss her new book, "POWERFUL: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility" and why companies should ditch signing bonuses, performance reviews, and pay secrecy on Women@Work. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Patty McCord is the author of the book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility and starting in 1998 she spent 14 years at NetFlix, serving as Chief Talent Officer. She has more than 15 years experience in Human Resources with high-tech companies. She was the Director of Human Resources at Pure Atria, now Rational Software Corporation. She served as Human Resources Manager at Borland International. McCord also ran the Corporate Diversity Programs department at Sun Microsystems. Currently, she is frequently in the media with interviews and articles from Harvard Business Review, NPR, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal. She speaks at CEO Forums, Business schools and for large groups around the world. When NetFlix began they were small, did not have money for perks. The perks were not something they focused on. Instead, they emphasized good salary, hard problems and good colleagues. Later, they added extras like unlimited maternity leave. In 2001 1/3 of the Netflix employees were let go – for example, those who were not very good at their jobs, middle management or those who complained about the lack of perks.  Shortly after, the price of DVD players dropped and each had a coupon in the box to try Netflix. That led to them being required to work harder with fewer dedicated people. That year they went public and they developed policies and procedures. They expected people to ‘act like adults’ - giving them more freedom but with high expectations for them. One of Netflix’s most talked about perks was unlimited vacation –it was never designed to be a perk. Initially, employees accrued 26 days a year. Instead, as an experiment, they decided that they wouldn’t keep track of the time employees take off but instead will keep track of what they got done. They focus on results and expect employees to act as adults – and so they leave it up to the employees to decide when to take vacation time.

As the chief talent officer of Netflix, Patty McCord helped create the company’s famous “culture deck”—a 124-page document that went viral and has been shared over 20 million times. Sheryl Sandberg called it “the most important document to ever come out of the Valley.” In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, Patty teaches how to build high-performance cultures. Great teams are not created with incentives, procedures, and perks, she says. The best thing leaders can do is get rid of the cumbersome systems for managing people. On this episode, we talk about the biggest mistakes HR leaders make, the truth about what motivates employees, and how to practice radical honesty in the workplace.  

In order to be nimble, you need to have a great team that grows with your organization's technology and culture. Join Patty Mccord and I on this podcast epsiode about how you should tackle team development and management as a Product Manager.  Patty headed up HR at Netflix for 14 years and helped develop the Netflix Culture Deck, which is still a staple onboarding document for companies today. Her book “Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility,” focuses on how the high-performing culture at Netflix was formed — advocating complete honesty and using challenges as motivation rather than incentives.

Radical honesty, the importance of cultural fit—these terms are familiar to most of us.

Netflix’s Former Chief Talent Officer, Patty McCord, doesn’t believe in Chief Happiness Officers, does not see hard work as enough, and believes HR should simply scrap policies that do not work for them. Patty McCord, author of Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, joins us to discuss her experience as Chief Talent Officer at Netflix and her fringe ideas that led to establishing the multi-billion dollar tech giant everyone knows. From performance reviews to challenging policies, Patty joins the Talent Angle on this episode to share insight on equity in the workplace, how to make HR a strategic function, and ultimately how to build employees who are proud of the company they come from.

Radical honesty - an open and authentic contribution, which lacks the intention of causing unnecessary pain and suffering, but serves to provide a mirror in which we can clearly reflect on the aspects of ourselves to which we are blind. On this episode of the Reboot Podcast, Jerry is joined by Patty McCord, former chief talent officer of Netflix, renowned for pioneering the use of radical honesty in the workplace. With her new book, "Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility", Patty aims to clearly define the best path for creating workplace cultures of high performance and profitability. Jerry and Patty consider how the implementation of radical honesty in our organizations serves to forge solid, supportive spaces where workplace safety is no longer defined solely by the assurance of employment, but contains space for team members to feel seen, heard and nourished to grow, where skill sets are broadened, and diverse people with different ways of thinking come together without fear or expectation to judge or be judged. Wouldn’t that be a more powerful way of working?
