At AWS, having “bias for action” or the ability to make decisions quickly without having the time to extensively study the subject matter is important. Although, Ray tends to be “right, a lot” he takes an extensive amount of time to reach a conclusion. It appears that Ray has not yet achieved the ability to take a calculated risk, as he is afraid of making a mistake that could derail a project. To overcome this deficiency, Ray needs more experience and guidance to understand that AWS values taking calculated risks and needs to understand that many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. To support this area for improvement, Ray has been extensively studying multiple products that could improve AWSs overall efficiency but, is apprehensive to create and/or suggest a working pilot to upper

    Firstly, it is important to acknowledge Bezos’ career began in computer science on Wall Street, which greatly influenced his leadership tactics and visions of Amazon’s culture (NYT, 2015). He created the 14 Leadership Principles (Amazon, 2015), the values that employees must incorporate in their working habits in order to fit the culture and working environment, and completely disregard human interaction and emotional intelligence. Similarly, when Bezos receives customer complaints through his public email address, he forwards it to the corresponding team with a question mark, creating a ‘ticking time bomb’ (Bloomberg, 2013) for the employees. This is Bezos’ way of enforcing one of his core principles of customer service/obsession. Even though these principles align employees standards with the standards of Amazon, this creates constant tension, the ranking of employees and intimidation from the top because they have to live up to constantly evolving…
