Amazon’s Leadership Principles are the specific characteristics necessary for successful leadership at Amazon. These
Principles work hard, just like we do. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new
projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates. It’s just one of those things
that make Amazon peculiar. This worksheet was designed to help you align your experience with Amazon’s Leadership
Principles. To best prepare for your interview, please write down a couple of detailed examples from your experience
that relate to each of Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep
customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.
Example 1:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example 2:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ownership: Leaders are owners. They think long-term and don’t sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They
act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say “that’s not my job.”
Example 1:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example2:__________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
Example 1:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example 2:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Are Right, A Lot: Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives
and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
Example 1:
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example 2:

Leadership Principle Worksheet

Hire and Develop the Best: Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in coaching others. We work on behalf of our people to invent mechanisms for development like career choice. Example 1:

Example 2:

Insist on the Highest Standards: Leaders have relentlessly high standards—many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed. Example 1:

Example 2:

Think Big: Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers. Example 1:

Example 2:

Bias for Action: Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking. Example 1:

Example 2:

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. Example 1:

Example 2:

Deliver Results: Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle. Example 1:
