Patty McCord, author of 'Powerful, Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility', and former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix talk radical honesty, equal pay, & navigating the workplace.Patty coaches and advises a small group of companies and entrepreneurs on culture and leadership as the Principal of Patty McCord Consulting. She also speaks to groups and teams around the world. She has many years of working with companies to help people realize and practice leadership. She is an innovative business person who is willing to push the boundaries of thinking about the way we work.Patty served as Chief Talent Officer of Netflix for 14 years. Along with input from the Netflix management team, she helped to create the Netflix Culture Deck. When it was posted on the Web, this presentation took on a life of its own. Sheryl Sandberg has said it “may be the most important document ever to come out of Silicon Valley.” The presentation has been viewed more than five million times. Patty was in charge of operationalizing those concepts. This involved creating or sometimes eliminating patterns, systems, and structure so that the words and aspirations of the culture document became behaviors and modes of operating. Her background includes staffing, diversity, communications and international Human Resources positions. 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.
