Introduction. A new way of working : foster freedom and responsibility -- The greatest motivation is contributing to success : treat people like adults -- Every single employee should understand the business : communicate constantly about the challenge -- Humans hate being lied to and being spun : practice radical honesty -- Debate vigorously : cultivate strong opinions and argue about them only on the facts -- Build the company now that you want to be then : relentlessly focus on the future -- Someone really smart in every job : have the right person in every single position -- Pay people what they're worth to you : compensation is a judgment call -- The art of good good-byes : make needed changes fast, and be a great place to be from.

"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. She 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"--Dust jacket flap.
