I don't think that counters what OP is saying. Netflix is publicly traded. Their CEO, who sets the cultural tone, only lasts as long as the shareholders allow him to last. If they start floundering for enough consecutive quarters, I guarantee you Reed will be gone and a PHB who will "maximize shareholder value" will replace him.
If the Mikes can be ousted from RIM, you can bet your rear that Hastings can be ousted from Netflix. And once "maximizing shareholder value" becomes the goal, "culture" becomes an afterthought.
