Amazon is requiring corporate managers to incorporate evaluations on employees' adherence to the company's 16 Leadership Principles into performance assessments. This change formalizes the previously implied expectation of aligning actions with corporate values such as "Bias for Action" and "Customer Obsession." CEO Andy Jassy aims to enhance the connection between performance and company culture, reflecting his leadership's strategy to transform Amazon into what he describes as the "world's largest startup." This effort includes initiatives like reducing bureaucratic obstacles within the organization.
"By making Leadership Principles a formal input... the updated process helps us strengthen the connection between performance and culture."
"What Jassy is seeking to do doesn't have many examples to model after: to transform the 1.5-million person company into the 'world's largest startup.'"
