“Jeff Bezos fan”, there is literally something in almost every sentence of every chapter in this book that can be applied and learned from. I only have two or three books in my entire bookshelf that I call MORE handbook as they are so referenceable and the lessons learned are so critical in running a business… This one is going to be sitting at the top of that list.
It’s worth listening all the way through to then tackle the one discussion item that I kept thinking about in my own business, which is culture. I think the things referenced here are all doable in any organization… Up to us to figure out how to apply it While upholding our values and comes with a sense of accountability.
Fantastic read !

The frugality factor was quite interesting to me. As in everyday life, Bezos is right to point out that his leaders’ frugality leads to self sufficiency and innovation.
In sum, good set of basic business principles for this grade A company! And made even better by the narrator, who read with clarity and good expression. While I knew going in this was a short listen, I would welcome a second book going into more “behind the scene” details and examples of how the business principles worked, and how actual problems were solved. This is my first audiobook about Amazon, I will also read others.
As expected, a quick primer on Amazon’s culture
