Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
One of the most viral pieces of content ever produced by Netflix has little to do with movies or television – it’s a Power Point presentation about human resources strategy that doesn’t even include any animation or music. The document attracted attention because it laid out a simple vision for managing and engaging employees: hire fully-formed adults and treat them like grown-ups. Kojo talks with the former chief talent officer at Netflix, along with regular contributor and business coach Howard Ross about this simple, yet revolutionary notion.
