Netflix Finance Team Discovers Collaborative Success in Los Angeles, California
The Build-A-Bike® event leveraged the finance team’s naturally competitive spirit in an outdoor setting that provided a refreshing break from their usual work environment. The beautiful Los Angeles weather created an ideal team-building backdrop and friendly competition. Initially, teams approached the challenges with an intense focus on winning, a characteristic of their high-performance culture.
However, the event’s design revealed an important lesson about the power of collaboration. As teams encountered various clues and challenges, they initially hesitated to reach out to other groups for assistance. This reluctance to collaborate created an unexpected hurdle in their progress.
The turning point came when teams began to recognize that their colleagues could be valuable resources in solving the puzzles. This realization led to increased interaction between groups and, ultimately, faster completion of the tasks. The experience effectively demonstrated that even in a competitive environment, collaboration can be a pathway to success. The bikes donated to the Lakewood Family YMCA represented not just their technical accomplishment but also their growth in understanding the value of cross-team cooperation.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Netflix’s finance team for their enthusiastic participation and generous contribution to the Lakewood Family YMCA. Their competitive spirit and eventual embrace of collaboration made this event truly memorable.
