This week’s episode features Patty McCord, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix and author of the new book, Powerful:Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility. Patty has some great stories to share from her time at Netflix that show the power of radical honesty and her view on topics such as perks and benefits, the hiring process, AI, diversity and inclusion and much more.
