Reed Hastings is also equally famous for having a rather non-traditional managerial style. Especially the "keeper test".
> If a person on your team were to quit tomorrow, would you try to change their mind? Or would you accept their resignation, perhaps with a little relief? If the latter, you should give them a severance package now and look for a star, someone you would fight to keep.
I agree with some of the other replies. That Hastings was very aware of two things
- He's not the best manager
- Corporate manager's are full of bs
IMO, the "keeper test" and some of the other famous and/or controversial policies at Netflix are a direct approach at avoid "manager mode".
