Erin Meyer Knihy

„Než přišel Netflix, nikdy předtím neexistovala společnost jako Netflix.“ Tato revoluční firma generuje miliardové roční příjmy a oslovuje stovky milionů lidí ve více než 190 zemích. Klíčovým faktorem úspěchu je kultura nastavená Reedem Hastingsem, která může na první pohled působit radikálně. Díky této kultuře zaměřené na svobodu a odpovědnost se Netflix dostal na vrchol. V tomto světovém bestselleru spoluzakladatel Hastings odhaluje vnitřní fungování Netflixu: jak nastavuje nové standardy, váží si lidí více než procesů, upřednostňuje inovace před efektivitou a zaměstnance nekontroluje. Neexistují žádná pravidla pro dovolenou ani výdaje. Zaměstnanci se nesnaží potěšit své nadřízené, ale poskytují upřímnou zpětnou vazbu. Tyto neobvyklé metody vedly k bezkonkurenční rychlosti inovací a Netflix se stal jednou z nejoblíbenějších značek na světě. Tato kniha je výbornou a čtivou byznysovou příručkou, která dramaticky proplétá historii Netflixu. Je určena pro ty, kdo vedou týmy, firmy, budují startupy nebo pracují v organizacích, které chtějí zlepšovat.

Whether you work in a home office or abroad, business success in our ever more globalized and virtual world requires the skills to navigate through cultural differences and decode cultures foreign to your own. Renowned expert Erin Meyer is your guide through this subtle, sometimes treacherous terrain where people from starkly different backgrounds are expected to work harmoniously together. When you have Americans who precede anything negative with three nice comments; French, Dutch, Israelis, and Germans who get straight to the point (your presentation was simply awful”); Latin Americans and Asians who are steeped in hierarchy; Scandinavians who think the best boss is just one of the crowdthe result can be, well, sometimes interesting, even funny, but often disastrous. Even with English as a global language, it's easy to fall into cultural traps that endanger careers and sink deals when, say, a Brazilian manager tries to fathom how his Chinese suppliers really get things done, or an American team leader tries to get a handle on the intra-team dynamics between his Russian and Indian team members. In The Culture Map, Erin Meyer provides a field-tested model for decoding how cultural differences impact international business. She combines a smart analytical framework with practical, actionable advice for succeeding in a global world.
