Amazon is the Corporate Success Story of Our Lifetime
Agree? Disagree? Why?
Some love Amazon, and some, well, not so much. The numbers are pretty amazing, since it started in 1994, Amazon has consistently driven itself to become a world class company. Amazon is considered the leading e-retailer in the United States with close to 386 billion U.S. dollars in 2020 net sales. It has over 200 million Prime members worldwide and the company is valued at over 1.7 TRILLION dollars. Yes, that is Trillion with a T.
Recently we had a training seminar at MBD and we asked certain staff on how they felt they ranked vis a vis a set of Leadership Principles that Amazon enumerated for its diverse and growing set of managers to adhere to.
How many of these principles would apply to your business?
Mark it on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being a resounding YES, and 1 being no thank you.
How many will you apply in the future?
