Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has announced a commitment to reducing management layers within the company as part of an effort to cut bureaucracy. During an all-hands meeting, he stressed that building large teams does not enhance promotions and that successful projects often originate from smaller teams. Jassy is pushing for a culture that prioritizes resourcefulness and meritocracy. This shift includes increasing the ratio of individual contributors to managers by 15% and altering promotional criteria to emphasize efficiency over size, fostering a startup-like environment.
The way to get ahead at Amazon is not to go accumulate a giant team and fiefdom. There's no award for having a big team.
Jassy reiterated his commitment to de-layering, a move he thinks will cut bureaucracy, increasing the ratio of individual contributors to managers by 15%.
The best leaders are those who 'get the most done with the least amount of resources required to do the job'.
Jassy underscored the need to build a culture of speed and meritocracy as part of the company's strategy.
