Inside the Mind of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos

In his letter to shareholders, Jeff Bezos emphasizes the importance of a Day 1 mentality that focuses on constant innovation and energy. He stresses the significance of being obsessed with customers’ experience, considering two key reasons - firstly, the balance of power has shifted to customers, and secondly, customer delight drives companies to invent on their behalf. Bezos advocates for making high-quality, high-velocity decisions that aren't done out of randomness with around 70% of the information. He warns against the drawbacks of a Day 2 mentality that includes slow high-quality decisions that fail to keep up with market trends. He recommends embracing external trends and implementing necessary adjustments to thrive as a business.
