Patty McCord on Transforming the Conversation on Company Culture

GUEST INFO

Patty McCord is one of the world’s greatest thinkers on company culture.  As the Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, she co-authored the Netflix Culture Deck, which Sheryl Sandberg called “maybe the most important document to come out of Silicon Valley,” and which completely changed the way leaders think about company culture.

Patty joined host Robert Glazer on the Elevate Podcast to talk about starting out in the company culture field, developing the Netflix Culture Deck and how to build an engaged, high-performing company with a world-renowned culture.  Then, Robert and Patty are joined by Emily Tetto, Acceleration Partners’ VP of Talent and Culture, for a conversation on the best way to build a great culture.
