(Read our five key takeaways from the book.)
“The key is embracing managing on the edge of chaos,” Hastings says. “That’s the message of the book.” It’s hard to find fault with that approach: Netflix had 193 million streaming customers as of the end of June, nearly tripling the base in the past five years.

I’ve benefited so much over the last 20 years from reading other people’s books that I wanted to do the pay-it-forward thing and help the next generation of young organizations try to figure out new paradigms that are a little more post-industrial. We’ve got this industrial-factory-military-church, very top-down hierarchy model, and that’s all our societies have known for the most part. And there are other ways of operating, and we wanted to make the case that it’s good business to run without rules — which is a surprising statement.” data-reactid=”36″>Why did you want to write this book?

And there are other ways of operating, and we wanted to make the case that it’s good business to run without rules — which is a surprising statement.
I’ve read many CEO pontification books, and I always wonder what it’s really like in the middle of that organization. I’m always skeptical. That’s why we hired Erin Meyer, who was a business school professor first, [to co-write the book] and come in and interview hundreds of Netflix employees confidentially and then do the point/counterpoint — me pontificating, and then her doing the reality check.
It doesn’t make Netflix out to be perfect. There’s still plenty of issues. But it’s very real in that way. Our big media competitors are not going to be able to take advantage of [the lessons in the book] because they’re too well established… It’s not like some great trade secret and then they’re all going to adapt to it. It’s the younger firms that will.

If you think of Sony, for 70 years now they’ve been global for product reasons, but they’re still profoundly Japanese. So this stuff’s hard. There’s a few that are very global — like Unilever or Adidas — but it’s a big challenge because we’re all so different.
But for us, it ties into us sharing stories from around the world, doing “Dark” in Germany and “La Casa de Papel” in Spain. Not just being Hollywood to the world, but in fact being a first-class developer and sharer of content in every major nation.
On applying the Keeper Test to ex-CFO David Wells: “That’s a tough one, because your heart cares for the person and they’re great. But your head is like, ‘We could be a better company if we had an entertainment CFO.’”
