McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, \u003ci\u003ePowerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility\u003c\/i\u003e, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McCord advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don't fit the company's emerging needs, and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks, and bonus plans. McCord argues that the old standbys of corporate HR--annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs--often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Her road-tested advice, offered with humor and irreverence, provides readers a different path for creating a culture of high performance and profitability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003ePowerful\u003c\/i\u003e will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatty McCord\u003c\/b\u003e served as chief talent officer of Netflix for fourteen years and helped create the Netflix Culture Deck.
