Invention comes in many forms and
at many scales. The most radical and
transformative of inventions are
often those that empower others to
unleash their creativity – to pursue
their dreams

History of
Leadership
Principles
A key ring with Amazon’s “core values” from 1999-2000
» 6 Core Values in 1997 Letter to
Shareholders
Customer Obsession | Ownership | Bias for Action |
Frugality | High Hiring Bar | Innovation
» 10 Leadership Principles created in
2001 to answer the question:
“What does Amazon value most in leadership?”
» 14 Leadership Principles in 2010
To simplify and clarify things, the 16 Core Value and
Leadership Principles were reduced to one list of 14 LPs
» Updated in August 2015
Learn and Be Curious | Earn Trust (Vocally Self-Critical)

Invent and
Simplify
Leaders expect and require innovation
and invention from their teams and
always find ways to simplify.
They are externally aware, look for new
ideas from everywhere, and are not
limited by “not invented here”.
As we do new things, we accept that we
may be misunderstood for long periods
of time.
© 2019, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its affiliates. All rights reserved.S U M M I T
Is it a one-way or
a two-way door?
“…most decision should probably
be made with somewhere around
70% of the information you wish
you had.
If you wait for 90%, in most cases,
you’re probably being slow.”
