People sometimes misinterpret what our Earn Trust Leadership Principle means. Earning trust isn't about constantly agreeing with your coworkers. It's not about oversharing personal details to create a false sense of familiarity. And it definitely isn't about being a pushover who lets the team walk all over you. True trust is earned through reliability, authenticity, and self-awareness. It comes from following through on your commitments, challenging respectfully if you disagree, and being vocally self-critical, even when it’s awkward or embarrassing. As a leader (and by the way, you don’t have to be a people manager to be a leader), earning trust means: 1) Doing things you say you’re going to do, when you’re going to do them. And if something changes, proactively communicating with stakeholders. 2) Listening intently and speaking candidly and respectfully if you disagree. 3) Owning your mistakes and being transparent. Covering things up or throwing people under the bus rapidly destroys trust. If you’re doing Earn Trust right, you won’t always be the most popular person in the room. But trusted leadership is infinitely more valuable than just being well liked. Learn about other nuances with our LPs from our CEO, Andy Jassy: https://amzn.to/3XlSmTj
About us
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

With a growing water crisis driven by climate change, population growth, and economic development, as global freshwater demand is predicted to exceed supply by 40 percent by 2030, according to the United Nations, we’re committed to doing our part. Amazon Web Services's investments in water-stressed communities help to restore watersheds and bring clean water, sanitation, and hygiene services. In 2023 alone, AWS's water replenishment portfolio returned 3.5 billion liters to local communities. That’s why AWS is launching six new water replenishment projects in the U.S., South America, and China. ➡️ https://amzn.to/3AQhZ70

We recently ditched almost all (95% to be exact - we're working on the rest!) of our plastic air pillows from customer deliveries in North America. Instead, we use recyclable paper that offers the same – if not better – protection for customers’ orders. With this change, we’re avoiding about 15 billion plastic air pillows every year. Thanks to all of our team members who helped make this big and important shift happen, and a special thanks to our social media intern, Madeline Scammell for this hilarious video 😂. So nice having Gen Z in the office. Learn more: https://amzn.to/4g31Rzs

Meet Faud Ali, a Seattle-based driver for Amazon. On what seemed like another normal day on his delivery route, a house in Burien, Washington, caught fire, and Ali went the extra mile. He called 911 and gave the homeowner the emotional support she needed in the moment, after she arrived home from walking her dog and had witnessed what had happened while she was out. “I’m not a hero,” Ali said. “Everybody should just look out for each other.” We’re so grateful for people like you, Ali. Thank you.🧡 https://amzn.to/3M9bZbT
