The term "talent density" was pioneered by Netflix and appears in "No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention," co-authored by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer. It refers to the ratio of highly skilled, high performers on the team out of the total employee population. Higher talent density leads to better innovation and performance.
