Lenny's Podcast: Product | Career | Growth · Why Netflix is betting on systems thinkers—not specialists—in the AI era | Elizabeth Stone (CPTO) · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

To be honest, you're not passing that right now.

I think you could get there in some cases and that comes with feedback and what are those milestones or in some cases you're saying we've really tried and I don't see the path to success.

So it's just it's an anchor and an entry point for a conversation that can go lots of different directions.

And the thing I like about it is it's good hygiene on feedback and checking in on how things are going.

and forcing a tough conversation sometimes instead of shying away from it.

Or to keep great talent, you do need to say you're doing great.

Like that's an important part of making people feel recognized and valued.

So I don't want it to come across that we just have this very negative view of it.

I think there's this positive side of the coin as well.

Yeah, and the way it can, it's sort of a corollary to that.

If that person came to me today to say they were leaving, would I fight to keep them or not?

Or would I say, if my sense is a relief of, yeah, it probably would be better to have someone else in this role, I should have taken action in having that conversation sooner.

Yeah, it's the, well, the keeper test is one maintaining talent, entity, context, not control among leaders.

We talk about being highly aligned, but loosely coupled, which is where light process, you know, the minimum to make sure we're clear on the priorities and we can execute them as what we're solving for.

All of these things are not things that human beings or organizations at scale

tend to do so it's constant diligence to try to maintain the thing that's made netflix a special place because in the end it's the work and the culture that attracts people and retains people and we need that to be a successful business

Yeah, we've always had a lot of competition for talent.

It might feel more pronounced right now, but we have great talent on the team.

Maybe that goes without saying, but I feel like I should say it out loud because I believe it.

We have incredible talent at Netflix, recent hires, long tenured people.
