15、t（晋升和成长）19Imagine if every person at Netflix is someone you respect and learn from设想一下，如果公司里的任何一个员工，你都发自内心地尊重，而且能够从他们身上学到东西20Great Workplace is Stunning Colleagues最好的工作环境是拥有一群超级棒的同事Great workplace is not espresso,lush benefits,sushi lunches,grand parties,or nice offices最好的工作环境不在于上等咖啡、丰厚福利、日本料理、盛大派对和
16、漂亮办公室 We do some of these things,but only if they are efficient at attracting and retaining stunning colleagues我们也会做上述的事情，但那只是因为这样才能吸引和留住那些超级棒的同事。21Like every company,we try to hire well和许多公司一样，我们努力将招聘做好22Unlike many companies,we practice:和许多公司不一样，我们实行：adequate performance gets a generous severance
17、package仅仅做到称职的员工，也要拿钱走人23Were a team,not a family我们是个团队，不是个家庭Were like a pro sports team,not a kids recreational team我们就像个专业运动队，而不是小孩子过家家Netflix leadershire,develop and cut smartly,so we have stars in every position因为Netflix的领导能够明智地聘用、培养和裁员，所以我们在每个岗位上都是明星员工24The Keeper Test Managers Use:管理者的员工去留测试：W

19、，这样我们才能空出位子，为团队找到明星员工。The Keeper Test Managers Use:管理者的员工去留测试：Which of my people,if they told me they were leaving,for a similar job at a peer company,would I fight hard to keep at Netflix?我手下的员工里，如果有人要辞职去同业公司做类似工作，有哪些人是我会拼命挽留的？26Honesty Always永远保持诚实As a leader,no one in your group should be materia
20、lly surprised of your views作为领导者，你团队中的任何一名成员都不应该对你的评估感到特别惊奇27Candor is not just a leaders responsibility,and you should periodically ask your manager:“If I told you I were leaving,how hard would you work to change my mind?”坦诚不单是领导者的责任，作为员工，你也应该定期地询问你领导：如果我告诉你我要辞职，那你会多大程度上努力挽留我？Honesty Always永远保持诚实28
21、 All of Us are Responsible for Ensuring We Live our Values我们所有人都有责任确保价值观的延续“You question actions inconsistent with our values”is part of the Courage value质疑和我们价值观不一致的行为”是勇气那一章的一部分。Akin to the honor code pledge:“I will not lie,nor cheat,nor steal,nor tolerate those who do”和我们的荣誉准则一致：“我不撒谎，不欺诈，不偷窃，也绝不
22、容忍这么做的人。29Pro Sports Team Metaphor is Good,but Imperfect专业运动队的比喻很好，但有瑕疵。Athletic teams have a fixed number of positions,so team members are always competing with each other for one of the precious slots运动队有固定的位置数量，所以成员们会为了宝贵的位置而相互竞争。30Corporate Team合作团队The more talent we have,the more we can accompl
23、ish,so our people assist each other all the time我们的团队能力越大，我们所取得的成就也就越大，所以我们的人始终彼此帮助。Internal“cutthroat”or“sink or swim”behavior is rare and not tolerated内部人员之间的倾轧行为非常少见，而且不被容忍。31We Help Each Other To Be Great我们彼此帮助，共同成就。32Isnt Loyalty Good?忠诚有益？What about Hard Workers?如何对待勤奋员工？What about Brilliant J

25、porary bad patch,we want people to stick with us我们也想得到同样的回馈：如果Netflix遭遇短期低迷，我们希望员工会和我们紧密团结在一起。But unlimited loyalty to a shrinking firm,or to an ineffective employee,is not what we are about但是，对于一个走下坡路的公司，或者对一个无效率的员工，无限度的忠诚并非我们所希望的。34Hard Work Not Relevant勤奋工作-并非切题 We dont measure people by how many
26、 hours they work or how much they are in the office我们不会用花了多少小时工作，或者有多少人呆在办公室里作为衡量员工和团队的标准。We do care about accomplishing great work我们只在意是否完成了伟大的工作成就。Sustained B-level performance,despite“A for effort”,generates a generous severance package,with respect持续做出B级的工作输出，不想着做到A级的效能，只能请他拿钱走人，客客气气的。Sustained
27、A-level performance,despite minimal effort,is rewarded with more responsibility and great pay保持A级的工作输出，追求最大效用，将会被委以重任，酬以重金。35Brilliant Jerks不羁天才 Some companies tolerate them 有些公司容忍他们。For us,cost to effective teamwork is too high 对于我们而言，这种人会使得保持团队效率的代价太大。Diverse styles are fine as long as person embo
28、dies the 9 values 保持多样性的风格很好，但这个人得体现出前述9种价值观。36Why are we so insistent on high performance?为什么我们对高效能如此坚持？In procedural work,the best are 2x 对于程序型的工作，顶级员工的输出量是一般员工的2倍。better than the average.In creative/inventive work,the best are 10 x better than the average,对于创新型/创意型的工作，顶级员工的输出量是一般员工的10倍！so huge pr

30、me 许多人喜欢我们的企业文化，并且呆了很长时间 They thrive on excellence and candor and change 他们因为公司的卓越、坦率和变化而成长。They would be disappointed if given a severance package,but lots of mutual warmth and respect 他们会因为被辞退而感觉到失望，但是带走彼此之间的热情和尊重。39Our High Performance Culture Not Right for Everyone我们的高效能文化并非对所有人都合适。Some people,h
31、owever,value job security and stability over performance,and dont like our culture 部分人看重工作的安稳甚于高效输出，而且并不喜欢我们的企业文化。They feel fearful at Netflix 他们在Netflix会心怀忧惧。They are sometimes bitter if let go,and feel that we are political place to work 如果让他们走人，有时他们会感到苦涩，觉得我们在搞办公室政治。40Our High Performance Culture
32、 Not Right for Everyone我们的高效能文化并非对所有人都合适。Were getting better at attracting only the former,and helping the latter realize we are not right for them 在吸引前一类人这方面，我们正在越做越好。同时，我们帮助后者认识到这里并不适合他们。41Seven Aspects of our Culture文化的7个方面 Values are what we Value（价值观来自于我们推崇和珍视的价值）High Performance（追求高绩效）Freedom&

40、 due to new technology or competitors or business models由于新技术或者新对手或者新商业模式的出现，市场变了。Company is unable to adapt quickly 前述公司不能快速适应 because the employees are extremely good at following the existing processes,and process adherence is the value system因为员工们已经极端适应既有的流程作业，对流程的依靠是系统价值的核心。Company generally gr
41、inds painfully into irrelevance 这样的公司将会痛苦地被碾成昨日黄花。55Seems Like Three Bad Options貌似更糟的第三种选择1.Stay creative by staying small,but therefore have less impact 通过保持公司小型化而保存创新能力，但是因此失去市场影响力。2.Avoid rules as you grow,and suffer chaos 成长的同时不设立规则，然后为混乱所苦。3.Use process as you grow to drive efficient execution
42、of current model,but cripple creativity,flexibility,and ability to thrive when your market eventually changes 当公司成长时，使用流程驱动现有模式的有效执行。当市场最终改变时，只能用跛脚的创新能力、灵活性和业务能力实现成长。56A Fourth Option第4种选择 Avoid Chaos as you grow with Ever More High Performance People not with Rules 通过和更多高效能员工共同成长，而非制定规则以避免混乱 Then y
