Amazon Leadership Principle Breakdown [Part 1, with an ex-Amazon Bar Raiser]

In this 2-part podcast series, I interview former Amazon bar raiser and executive recruiter Eric Hudson on Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles. He unpacks the real meaning behind each one, and shares expert tips on how you can best prepare for the Amazon interview.

Do you have any current sponsors? I've worked for Amazon, Airbnb, Apple to Zillow and Zumingo as a magician and wanted to discuss potentially sponsoring videos on your channel.

Gone are the old accepted traditional ways of thinking that the customer is always right. The customer is not always right.
understand why the opposite was usually practiced in business, but it was still wrong. I have accepted this since antiquity. Glad I'm not the only 1 that thought so.😏
