This book presents an analysis of Jeff Bezos' annual shareholder letters. Lots of insights -- arguably too many to keep track of casually. Here are my key take-aways:
First, have an intense focus on Customer Experience. Make it easy for them get what they want.
Understand Type 1 and Type 2 decisions.
Type 1 decisions are hard to reverse - make those slowly.
Most decisions are Type 2 -- the kind that you can get a "do over". Don't spin your wheels making Type 2 decisions -- make them quickly.
Where you can, support things that you might not agree with.
Velocity matters. Be it something you don't fully agree with or making Type 2 decisions, make them and then execute.
Lastly, have an intense focus on Customer Experience. Make it easy for them get what they want.
Yes, I know the first and last take-aways are the same. That is intentional 😊
