My favourite:
Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility
This is one of the original books about Netflix. What struck me about that phase of Netflix is how deliberate they were in shaping and evolving the business. This book doesn’t shy away from the trade-offs they made, and it focuses significantly on the accountability piece. This book alone trumps half of the books out there on building high-performing organizations.
