Happy Woman Crush Wednesday! This weekly lady boss feature will focus on the profiles, stories, and interviews of women entrepreneurs and business leaders. Our goal is to connect and inspire like-minded women across all industries.

This week’s lady boss feature is Patty McCord, the former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, where she helped create Netflix's amazing business culture. She now advises start-ups and entrepreneurs on culture and leadership, and is the author of Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility.

Patty McCord was influential for shaping the unique culture of freedom and responsibility at Netflix.

Also, this has been called “the most important document ever to come out of the Valley” by Sheryl Sandberg.
