Culture needs to grow and evolve as the company gets bigger, the types of problems you're solving change.
But the notion that we're going for excellence and trusting that exceptional talent needs to be able to do their best work, that's unchanged and something that I think continues to be a special sauce for us.
Exactly, Lenny.
Well, the talent density is the non-negotiable.
You have to start with that.
If you don't have that, you can't get to a place where you have confidence in decision-making at all levels of the organization, allowing people to take risks and innovate quickly.
That's a big part of excellence in the Netflix culture, which is being very comfortable with risk-taking.
We don't try to avoid failures.
We try to recover quickly when we have them.
I think there's been great examples of that.
Our foray into live was a wonderful example of being comfortable taking a ton of risk, knowing it would be imperfect, knowing we would learn fast and we would be better for it.
I've never been prouder of the team seeing how we worked through that.
So you have to be talent density.
comfortable that people are going to take the context that you give them, strong judgment and risk-taking and fight for the things that are the best outcomes for the business.
You have to be very clear that what you're doing is driving outcomes for consumers and Netflix.
So Netflix matters.
Netflix members matter.
It's not about my own personal success or what I prefer.
So there's a selflessness that is part of this excellence operating system.
And then the other thing I would say is some of the things that are really unnatural for humans to do.
