﹅ Our April pick is…
Voting is now closed and we’re excited to announce that the winning book and our Bad Ass Bookshelf read for April is:
No Rules Rules
By Reed Hastings & Erin Meyer
No Rules Rules delves into the unconventional management principles that have propelled Netflix to the forefront of the entertainment industry. Readers will explore how fostering a culture of freedom and responsibility, emphasising talent density, and encouraging candid feedback can drive innovation and adaptability within an organisation.
No Rules Rules offers valuable lessons on building a resilient and dynamic workplace, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in transformative leadership and corporate culture.
● Why you chose No Rules Rules
Not going to lie, it was stressful watching the votes come in!
For a significant portion of the voting window Dare to Lead was daring to lead! The rest of the time it was pretty much a dead heat between the two front runners. Then out of nowhere, The Making of a Manager started charging up the field.
But a late push from No Rules Rules saw it pull away from the pack and secure it’s place as the April read for the Bad Ass Bookshelf.
Here’s how you voted:
