More quotes by Reed Hastings
Human entertainment will have moved on to something new. Then the ultimate challenge for us is, can we figure out what that new form of entertainment is?
Reed Hastings
Our brand at Netflix is really focused on movies and TV shows.
Reed Hastings
On the Internet you get continuous innovation, so every year the streams are a little better.
Reed Hastings
I think there will be 20 years of evolution from linear broadcast to internet television.
Reed Hastings
In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.
Reed Hastings
Something will eventually replace the Internet. But it's hard to know what and when it will happen.
Reed Hastings
Companies rarely die from moving too fast, and they frequently die from moving too slowly.
Reed Hastings
Don’t get distracted by the shiny object [and if a crisis comes], execute on the fundamentals.
Reed Hastings
Comparing Apple to Netflix is like comparing apples to oranges, especially if the oranges made so many mistakes that people stopped eating oranges and just went back to Blockbuster.
Reed Hastings
But as an entrepreneur you have to feel like you can jump out of an aeroplane because you're confident that you'll catch a bird flying by. It's an act of stupidity, and most entrepreneurs go splat because the bird doesn't come by, but a few times it does.
Reed Hastings
I founded Netflix. I've built it steadily over 12 years now, first with DVD becoming profitable in 2002, a head-to-head ferocious battle with Blockbuster and evolving the company toward streaming.
Reed Hastings
If the Starbucks secret is a smile when you get your latte... ours is that the Web site adapts to the individual's taste.
Reed Hastings
Do not tolerate brilliant jerks. The cost to teamwork is too high.
Reed Hastings
Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define entire epics of humanity by the technology they use.
Reed Hastings
Most entrepreneurial ideas will sound crazy, stupid and uneconomic, and then they’ll turn out to be right.
Reed Hastings
Truly brilliant marketing happens when you take something most people think of as a weakness and reposition it so people think of it as a strength.
Reed Hastings
Tomorrow when you come to work, if it doesn't make the customer happy, move the business forward, and save us money - don't do it.
Reed Hastings
When you grow up, as I have, in the shadow of Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and others, success is defined as the total global transformation of a market. To achieve that, you need low prices and an attractive offering. It's about trying to make a positive impact on a big scale.
Reed Hastings
Great leaders, like Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, also focused on the long term.
Reed Hastings
It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.
