Working Backwards is an insider's breakdown of Amazon's approach to culture, leadership, and best practices from two long-time Amazon executives.
Colin started at Amazon in 1998; Bill joined in 1999. In Working Backwards, these two long-serving Amazon executives reveal and codify the principles and practices that drive the success of one of the most extraordinary companies the world has ever known. With twenty-seven years of Amazon experience between them, much of it in the early aughts―a period of unmatched innovation that brought products and services including Kindle, Amazon Prime, Amazon Studios, and Amazon Web Services to life―Bryar and Carr offer unprecedented access to the Amazon way as it was refined, articulated, and proven to be repeatable, scalable, and adaptable.
With keen analysis and practical steps for applying it at your own company―no matter the size―the authors illuminate how Amazon’s fourteen leadership principles inform decision-making at all levels and reveal how the company’s culture has been defined by four characteristics: customer obsession, long-term thinking, eagerness to invent, and operational excellence. Bryar and Carr explain the set of ground-level practices that ensure these are translated into action and flow through all aspects of the business.
Working Backwards is a practical guidebook and a corporate narrative, filled with the authors’ in-the-room recollections of what “Being Amazonian” is like and how it has affected their personal and professional lives. They demonstrate that success on Amazon’s scale is not achieved by the genius of any single leader, but rather through commitment to and execution of a set of well-defined, rigorously-executed principles and practices―shared here for the very first time.
##很喜歡。
##書是最新的,但是例子太老瞭。作者離開亞麻有些年頭瞭。
##今年讀過的最有收獲的一本書,頗有相逢恨晚的感覺。結閤自己過去工作的觀察和總結,對書裏提到的很多practices和文化感觸很深。
##chaptet1寫的非常好 但是到瞭chapter2寫的巨邋遢 完全成瞭傳記 且大部分都很難往chapter1的內容上麵靠。仁者見仁智者見智 個人感覺後半部分就是湊篇幅的。
##對於電商公司特彆有啓發!

##關於Amazon的書都快成堆瞭,前高管坐不住齣來撥亂反正瞭。這麼高的評分難道都是水軍?
##很有實感的amazon復盤,作者寫的完全不懸浮,有戰略也有細節。
