Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings on Disney+ and streaming competition

Reed Hastings, Netflix’s co-founder and co-CEO, is a scholar of business strategy. He’s decided to pass along his unique views on business culture in his new book, “No Rules Rules,” co-written with business professor Erin Meyer. Hastings used to bring Netflix employees together to discuss “The Innovator’s Dilemma,” the 1997 business strategy book by Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen. Now, he hopes his own book will be used by future executives as a foundational discussion starter.

Hastings explains why Netflix thinks of itself more like a sports team than a family and shares his thoughts on bundling, HBO Max, TikTok, retirement and much more.

Reed is a walking lesson on how to speak about competition. Never bad mouthing and always respectful. It’s both refreshing and admirable.

I don't think that CEO Reed Hastings really wants to expand the company because if he did then Netflix Canada would have more content, triple charge rates for a tenth of the American content is a joke
