No Rules Rules

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The New York Times bestseller Shortlisted for the 2020 Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Netflix cofounder Reed Hastings reveals for the first time the unorthodox culture behind one of the world's most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies There has never before been a company like Netflix. It has led nothing short of a revolution in the entertainment industries, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue while capturing the imaginations of hundreds of millions of people in over 190 countries. But to reach these great heights, Netflix, which launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service, has had to reinvent itself over and over again. This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning. Hastings rejected the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate and defied tradition to instead build a culture focused on freedom and responsibility, one that has allowed Netflix to adapt and innovate as the needs of its members and the world have simultaneously transformed. Hastings set new standards, valuing people over process, emphasizing innovation over efficiency, and giving employees context, not controls. At Netflix, there are no vacation or expense policies. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous severance, and hard work is irrelevant. At Netflix, you don’t try to please your boss, you give candid feedback instead. At Netflix, employees don’t need approval, and the company pays top of market. When Hastings and his team first devised these unorthodox principles, the implications were unknown and untested. But in just a short period, their methods led to unparalleled speed and boldness, as Netflix quickly became one of the most loved brands in the world. Here for the first time, Hastings and Erin Meyer, bestselling author of The Culture Map and one of the world’s most influential business thinkers, dive deep into the controversial ideologies at the heart of the Netflix psyche, which have generated results that are the envy of the business world. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with current and past Netflix employees from around the globe and never-before-told stories of trial and error from Hastings’s own career, No Rules Rules is the fascinating and untold account of the philosophy behind one of the world’s most innovative, imaginative, and successful companies.

Faith Williams' husband is dead; so why isn't she crying at his funeral? From the outside looking in, it appeared that the prominent Williams family had it all. They were a powerful and well to do African American Bishop and First Lady at a mega church, that they built as a team in Oakland, California. They had three lovely daughters, a grand mansion, drove the finest cars and had more church members than they could account for in their large Baptist congregation. But there was a price that was paid to 'Have It All.' It isn't until Faith is sitting on the front pew at her husband's funeral, that she finally has the courage to dig deep within herself to reflect on a relationship that was built on a bed of lies. Faith will take the reader on a journey through her relationships with her husband, God, and herself. She will dissect it all; the good times, the lies, the infidelities, and the skeleton's that will fall out of all of their closets. Through it all will she have enough Faith to walk away unscathed?

A Box of Depends & A Bottle of Tequila

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Have you ever had the worst day of your life and thought, well, at least, there's tomorrow, and when I wake up, everything will be all right? What if you were stuck in that day for six years? When my husband was diagnosed with a disease that mimicked Alzheimer's, I was stuck in my worst nightmare I couldn't wake up from. So my husband was slowly losing his mind, and now what? I had to figure that out. This disease wasn't widely known back then, and we had a lot of trial and error when it came to the what-do-you-do process. Thank God I had been through all the training with Tony Robbins and Wayne Dyer. I'd walked the fire so many times I could do it blindfolded, so I thought I would be able to cope with this. Boy, was I wrong! There is no amount of prep work you can do. Once you're in it, it's like a freight train you just have to ride through or jump out of the way before it knocks you down. My life was crazy, and to top it all off, I had to go and start my own franchise dealing with in-home care for my husband and a lot of people who had the same issues he had. I was working insane hours trying to support my sick husband and find some sense in all this misery. I found out through this process what kind of person I am and just where my breaking point is. With the help of my parents, who also had health issues at the time, we somehow made this all work out, but it wouldn't have been bearable at all without a little humor and, my dear friends, a box of Depends and a bottle of tequila!

One Weekend a Month - My Ass!

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1477162208
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
This book is written from a collection of journal entries I kept during my training in California before I went overseas to serve in Iraq, copies of letter I sent home to my two daughters and school that I taught at when activated, as well as some stories that I wrote about my experiences. There are some facts that are incorrect in this book but I kept them in because they were the truth to me at the time. The letters are mostly word for word as they were written and sent. I have included pictures that go along with my writings that help to show, as well as explain, what I experienced. I have changed or omitted the names of people to protect their privacy. I was not a hero, nor was I involved in any large fighting that took place in Iraq. I was just a fifty-three year old man, close to my twenty-year letter for retirement in the National Guard who happened to be sent to war in Iraq. I dont pretend to be brave or have any deep meaning to my experiences. I just want to share an average story of an average soldier in Iraq. Sgt. Joseph Berlin (ret.)
