RT @DaveCristello: This whole talk was absolute fire.
I also love how he was obsessively in all details until 50-100 employees
This feels normal and antithetical to most biz books written for corporate leadership

Reed Hastings on the role of the CEO at a startup
“In the first couple of years, you do everything—you’re doing dishes at night, you’re coding, you’re writing marketing materials, you’re dealing with customers and investors. And you have so many disadvantages as an irrelevant little nothing of a company that you have to make up for it with talent, hard work, and brute force. And so if you’re lucky, that’s only a couple of years as opposed to 10 years, where you’re just on call constantly in a very intense way.”
But once you get to 50-100 people, you have to evolve your management style entirely and adapt to be more strategic. You no longer know everyone at the company, and are no longer involved in every little detail.
At Netflix’s scale, Reed’s responsibilities are almost entirely company strategy and vision. He’ll decide which markets Netflix should be in, but he’s not picking countries or shows. He’ll decide that the marketing budget should be 5-10% of revenue, rather than 50%, but he’s not deciding what the campaign is. And lastly he’ll set the vision in terms of culture:
“What are the rules of the road of how the firm operates? What’s our character so that it’s a healthy place?”
But at Netflix’s scale, the CEO can’t do much of the work:
“It’s just too big. And if you try to, you’ll (A) burn yourself out, and (B) get everyone else upset.”
This is actually what happened at Reed’s first company Pure Software:
“I was 33, the company had grown to about 50 people, and I was still trying to code at night and trying to be CEO during the day and sleeping at work, and I wasn’t careful enough about taking showers… It was just gross… And when there was bugs in my code, it was hard to get me to fix it because I was off doing other things… I was trying to hold on too long to the dual roles.”

Quite interesting how a group of researchers has developed a tool using ChatGPT to predict analyst actions after earning calls (change in PT and earning estimates).
The tool categorises the questions asked, and the answers given along four key dimensions:
- Growth potential of the company
- Earnings quality
- Quality of management
- Risks to the company
ChatGPT then scored scored each category which had a strong predictive power.

Brian Armstrong on the importance of disagreeableness if you want to do important things
“What I’ve realized about a lot of people who I think are building important things in the world is that they’ve developed this high disagreeableness muscle where they’ve recognized that they’re not going to make everybody happy and they’ve made peace with it.”
He gives Mark Zuckerberg as an example.
“They realized at a certain point that whether I do the thing that I think everyone’s going to like or the thing that is more authentic to me, someone’s going to be pissed no matter what .So at the end of the day, I’m just going to do the thing that I think is right. And they’ve leaned more into authenticity instead of trying to say what they think people want to hear. And that does require you to have thick skin and some kind of high disagreeableness. And then they can actually do even more interesting stuff because they’re being themselves instead of trying to be liked.”
This is something Brian himself is even trying to work on. And of course there are limits — you don’t want to get to a place where you’re listening to nobody. You want people around you have your best interest at heart and to listen to them. But for people who don’t have your best interest at heart, you need to build the ability to ignore them.
“It’s a real superpower to care less what other people think — at least people who don’t have your best interests at heart.”
