Today at Google, we're delighted to welcome Patty McCord.

Patty is one of the world's foremost experts

and she was a co-author of the famous Netflix culture

She's here today to discuss her new book, titled "Powerful:

Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility," which

was largely an effort to sort of boil down

the message of the famous Netflix culture deck.

So please join me in welcoming to Google Miss Patty McCord.

PATTY MCCORD: So I'm just going to couple--

how many people have seen the Netflix culture deck?

I didn't co-author it with Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix.

Reed and I did another company before Netflix,

We sold software tools to other software engineers.

And we grew through a merger and acquisition.

And how we grew was we'd acquire a company,

and every time we'd acquire a company, we'd double.

And then we sold the company to our largest competitor.

with the fewest policies that would piss off

And so what we decided to do at Netflix that was different

I didn't want to work with brilliant assholes anymore.

And I wanted to have permission to say no.

And Reed wasn't very tolerant of people who weren't very smart

for those of you that have read the Netflix culture deck,

So my journey was not only to write down what kind of company

to be the COO of that culture, which meant if we said this,

And that's the part where most companies get it wrong.

today and think about what you're doing here

because that's what company culture really is.

So since I've been away, I get to talk to people

are people who are kind of on the speaker circuit.

So I end up onstage with a lot of coaches,

like real sports coaches from real professional sports teams.

So I was in Montreal last year in February.

Has anybody been to Montreal in February?

So I called up my daughter, and I said, hey, by the way,

I'm doing this talk in Montreal in February.

So then I realized how dang cold it is in Montreal in February.

can go underground so that I can go up to the venue, which is

Does anybody know what happens at the Bell Centre in Montreal?

Well, that's where the Stanley Cup is played.

to groups who are a little bigger than you, but not much.

Like as if this room was full is kind of my biggest audience.

And at the last minute, they said to me, oh, by the way,

You're going to be with this guy named Scotty Bowman.

So I google Scotty Bowman, and he's a hockey coach.

He's the winningest hockey coach in history

He's like 70, and he has on a little suit with a maple leaf

And then it occurs to me, we're in a hockey stadium.
