John Rossman, a prominent public figure and innovation keynote speaker, invites organizations to explore the profound impact of the 16 Amazon Leadership Principles on their growth and success. With his extensive background as a former Amazon executive and thought leader, Rossman equips leaders with the tools they need to foster a culture of high performance, accountability, and innovation in today’s fast-paced business landscape.

The Amazon Leadership Principles are not just guiding tenets; they are essential strategies that drive organizational excellence. In his latest workshop, Rossman will delve into each of the principles, showcasing their relevance in a modern business context:

  • Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards.
  • Ownership: Leaders act on behalf of the entire company, think long-term, and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.
  • Invent and Simplify: Leaders seek out new solutions and simplify processes.
  • Are Right, A Lot: Leaders have strong judgment and good instincts.
  • Learn and Be Curious: Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves.
  • Hire and Develop the Best: Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion.
  • Insist on the Highest Standards: Leaders continually raise the bar and drive their teams to deliver quality.
  • Think Big: Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results.
  • Bias for Action: Leaders value calculated risk-taking.
  • Frugality: Leaders accomplish more with less.
  • Earn Trust: Leaders build trust through integrity and transparency.
  • Dive Deep: Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdotes differ. No task is beneath them.
  • Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit: Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.
  • Deliver Results: Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion.
  • Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer: Leaders work to create a safer, more productive, and more inclusive workplace.
  • Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility: Leaders are determined to make better, do better, and be better for customers, employees, partners, and the world.

“Understanding and implementing these leadership principles can transform the way organizations operate. My goal is to empower leaders to not just adopt these principles but to truly embody them in their daily practices,” said John Rossman,founder of Rossman Partners, a strategy advisory firm.
