Content Creation & Leadership Development

Special writing projects for internal Netflix Leadership Management Training Program.

Given that I am under a strict NDA and cannot share my work in this area, check out this interview with Kenny Temowo, who leads leadership development for Netflix UK, for a description of the work.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

A Socratic-based approach to leadership development

The Netflix team developed a leadership program inspired by the Aspen Institute’s Great Books program to equip leaders with the knowledge of significant books.

“Peter Reiling, our VP of leadership programs, developed a program for CEOs and business leaders to really deepen their knowledge in this space, “ Kenny explains. “It’s a text-based Socratic dialogue of questions based on reading stories written by journalists or ex-journalists in the business.”

“And because Netflix is about stories, we use these stories or cases as a way of exemplifying key issues in the business,” he says. “The stories are powerful, and people get immersed in these stories and challenging conversations with each other.”
