5/27/2023 0 Comments Working backwards book amazonWhile I'm sure the book shares an overly rosy view of the company culture, it's tough to argue with the results that Amazon has been able to achieve. My biggest takeaway from the book is that Amazon (largely driven by Bezos) has applied a tremendous amount of systems thinking and focus on the customer to its internal operations. It's authored by two 20-year veterans of the company, each of whom had a front-row seat to working with Bezos and the leadership team. Working Backwards shares the operating principles that helped Amazon grow. They've somehow managed to scale a culture that values growth, expansion, and innovation to millions of employees. No other company has created so many compounding loops as part of their core business (and that doesn't even include the potentially larger business of AWS!). For years, I have admired Amazon from afar.
