具体描述
Named by The Washington Post as one of the 11 Leadership Books to Read in 2018 When it comes to recruiting, motivating, and creating great teams, Patty McCord says most companies have it all wrong. McCord helped create the unique and high-performing culture at Netflix, where she was chief talent officer. In her new book, Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, she shares what she learned there and elsewhere in Silicon Valley.
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.
Powerful will change how you think about work and the way a business should be run.

##豆瓣上有人说是「人力资源的乌托邦」还蛮贴切的，整本书有点虎头蛇尾，后面有点啰嗦无聊
国内按照这种标准 BAT 也招不够人（当然本来 BAT 的平均水平也未必高到哪去）。有些业务也许确实要堆人，有些业务加一堆不靠谱的人除了增加经理的 Scope 对团队生产力完全是负向的。一旦有幸和书中描述的这种自驱、主动、专业、自学能力强的人合作过（如沐春风），再和不靠谱的人合作绝对是巨大的痛苦...
##管理類的書能寫好挺不容易。這本書有很好的管理理念，本人的確受益匪淺，但作者文字功底一般，扣一星。
##We're sport team for wining, not family members for happy.
##比一般的企业管理类书籍稍微实用一些，但是并没有传言的那么神奇吧
##We're sport team for wining, not family members for happy.
##Patty和Netflix一起打破了许多大公司约定俗成的bullshit，看完有一种如果我们公司也可以这样就好了的感觉。
##将责任与自由同时赋予员工对于组织管理而言是一种艺术，作者不喜欢“enpower”这个词，更倾向于创造环境、提供资源的同时提示员工你有足够的“power”；最后几章可参考的价值不高，读完后谷歌了下书中提到的Culture Deck，说实话读完那个PPT的收获可能比读这本书还高一些。
##Netflix 前HR写的书, 非常有名的 "culture deck"的宽展版，很多公司（包括敝司）都从中吸取若干方案，但没有那么extreme. 书中不少建议对公司对员工都很中肯，可以看看
