Summary of The Amazon Way (John Rossman)
Book Abstract
Jeff Bezos and Amazon have fourteen leadership secrets
which guide their decisions. What's interesting is not that these secrets exist but that they actually get referred to every day and are applied in the real-world decisions which get made.
Amazon's leadership principles are:
Obsess over the customer
Take ownership of results
Leaders are right – A lot
Invent and simplify
Hire and develop the best
Insist on the highest standards
Think big
Have a bias for action
Practice frugality
Be vocally self-critical
Earn the trust of others
Dive deep
Have backbone – Disagree & commit
Deliver results
These principles aren’t slogans printed on wall posters and coffee mugs. They are lived and breathed every day by Amazonians from the CEO on down. They are principles that other companies, small or large, may just want to adopt.
- John Rossman
