OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Reed Hastings

ARCHETYPE

The Visionary

The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.

Reed Hastings reads as The Visionary, a founder whose instinct is to lead from a picture of the future rather than the constraints of the present. As Netflix co-founder, and in conversation on The David Rubenstein Show, he registers as someone who bets on where behaviour is heading before the evidence is comfortable. His leadership works through conviction, framing bold destinations clearly enough that organisations reorganise themselves to reach them.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY VISIONARY

We really focus on inspiring our people and having it very open and collaborative and from that you get amazing technical innovation and you get amazing content innovation.

DESCRIBING NETFLIX LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

We're fundamentally an original content business that supplements with licensed content around the world.

ON NETFLIX'S STRATEGIC EVOLUTION

It's about achievement of the company as opposed to personal achievement. You want to be super proud of the organization and personally humble.
