亚马逊领导力原则(16条)
📝 简介
我们要求自己和彼此每天都通过行动来践行领导力原则,并相互问责。我们的领导力原则描述了亚马逊如何开展业务、领导者如何领导、以及我们如何将客户置于决策的中心。我们独特的亚马逊文化由领导力原则所定义,帮助我们不懈地追求成为地球上最以客户为中心的公司、最佳雇主和最安全的工作场所的使命。
16条领导力原则
1. Customer Obsession | 客户至上
💬 原文
Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers.
中文翻译: 领导者从客户出发,反向推动工作。他们积极努力地赢得并维护客户的信任。虽然领导者会关注竞争对手,但他们更痴迷于客户。
2. Ownership | 主人翁精神
💬 原文
Leaders are owners. They think long term and don't sacrifice long-term value for short-term results. They act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just their own team. They never say "that's not my job."
中文翻译: 领导者是主人。他们着眼长远,不会为短期结果而牺牲长期价值。他们代表整个公司行事,而不仅仅是自己的团队。他们绝不会说"那不是我的工作"。
3. Invent and Simplify | 创新与简化
💬 原文
Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify. They are externally aware, look for new ideas from everywhere, and are not limited by "not invented here." As we do new things, we accept that we may be misunderstood for long periods of time.
中文翻译: 领导者期望并要求团队进行创新和发明,并始终寻找简化的方法。他们关注外部动态,从各处寻找新想法,不受"非我发明"思维的限制。当我们做新事物时,我们接受可能在很长一段时间内被误解。
4. Are Right, A Lot | 决策正确
💬 原文
Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs.
中文翻译: 领导者在大多数时候都能做出正确的决定。他们拥有敏锐的判断力和良好的直觉。他们寻求多元视角,并努力去证伪自己的信念。
5. Learn and Be Curious | 好奇求知
💬 原文
Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves. They are curious about new possibilities and act to explore them.
中文翻译: 领导者永远在学习,永远在寻求自我提升。他们对新的可能性充满好奇,并付诸行动去探索。
6. Hire and Develop the Best | 选贤育能
💬 原文
Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion. They recognize exceptional talent, and willingly move them throughout the organization. Leaders develop leaders and take seriously their role in coaching others. We work on behalf of our people to invent mechanisms for development like Career Choice.
中文翻译: 领导者通过每一次招聘和晋升来提升绩效标准。他们识别卓越人才,并愿意让他们在组织内流动。领导者培养领导者,并认真对待自己在指导他人方面的角色。我们代表员工创造发展机制,如"职业选择"(Career Choice)项目。
7. Insist on the Highest Standards | 坚持最高标准
💬 原文
Leaders have relentlessly high standards — many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
中文翻译: 领导者有着近乎苛刻的高标准——许多人可能会认为这些标准高得不合理。领导者不断提升标准,推动团队交付高质量的产品、服务和流程。领导者确保缺陷不会被传递到下游,问题一旦修复就不会再复发。
8. Think Big | 远见卓识
💬 原文
Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction that inspires results. They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers.
中文翻译: 格局小是一种自我实现的预言。领导者创造并传达一个大胆的方向,激发出卓越的成果。他们以不同的方式思考,善于预见未来趋势,寻找服务客户的新途径。
9. Bias for Action | 崇尚行动
💬 原文
Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk taking.
中文翻译: 速度在商业中至关重要。许多决定和行动是可逆的,不需要大量研究。我们重视经过深思熟虑的冒险。
10. Frugality | 勤俭节约
💬 原文
Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and invention. There are no extra points for growing headcount, budget size or fixed expense.
中文翻译: 用更少的资源做更多的事。约束催生足智多谋、自给自足和发明创新。增加人数、预算规模或固定开支不会获得额外的加分。
11. Earn Trust | 赢得信任
💬 原文
Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully. They are vocally self-critical, even when doing so is awkward or embarrassing. Leaders do not believe their or their team's body odor smells of perfume. They benchmark themselves and their teams against the best.
中文翻译: 领导者认真倾听、坦诚发言,并尊重他人。他们勇于自我批评,即使这样做令人尴尬。领导者不会自欺欺人地认为自己或团队完美无缺。他们以最优秀的标杆来衡量自己和团队。
12. Dive Deep | 刨根问底
💬 原文
Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently, and are skeptical when metrics and anecdote differ. No task is beneath them.
中文翻译: 领导者深入各个层级,保持对细节的关注,频繁审核,当数据指标与听到的事例不一致时保持怀疑。没有任何任务是他们不屑于做的。
13. Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit | 敢于谏言,服从大局
💬 原文
Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. Leaders have conviction and are tenacious. They do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.
中文翻译: 当领导者持有不同意见时,有责任恭敬地提出质疑,即使这样做让人不舒服或疲惫。领导者有信念、有毅力。他们不会为了合群而妥协。一旦做出决定,他们就全力以赴。

14. Deliver Results | 达成业绩
💬 原文
Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle.
中文翻译: 领导者专注于业务的关键输入,以正确的质量和及时的方式交付成果。尽管遭遇挫折,他们仍能挺身而出,绝不妥协。
15. Strive to be Earth's Best Employer | 努力成为地球最佳雇主
💬 原文
Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment. They lead with empathy, have fun at work, and make it easy for others to have fun. Leaders ask themselves: Are my fellow employees growing? Are they empowered? Are they ready for what's next? Leaders have a vision for and commitment to their employees' personal success, whether that be at Amazon or elsewhere.
中文翻译: 领导者每天都在努力创造一个更安全、更高效、更高绩效、更多元化、更公正的工作环境。他们以同理心引领,在工作中享受乐趣,也让他人容易感受到乐趣。领导者扪心自问:我的同事们在成长吗?他们被赋能了吗?他们为未来做好准备了吗?领导者对员工的个人成功有愿景和承诺,无论这种成功是在亚马逊还是在其他地方。
16. Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility | 成功与规模带来广泛责任
💬 原文
We started in a garage, but we're not there anymore. We are big, we impact the world, and we are far from perfect. We must be humble and thoughtful about even the secondary effects of our actions. Our local communities, planet, and future generations need us to be better every day. We must begin each day with a determination to make better, do better, and be better for our customers, our employees, our partners, and the world at large. And we must end every day knowing we can do even more tomorrow. Leaders create more than they consume and always leave things better than how they found them.
中文翻译: 我们从车库起步,但已今非昔比。我们规模庞大,影响着世界,但远非完美。我们必须对行动的次生影响保持谦逊和深思。我们的社区、地球和未来世代需要我们每天都变得更好。我们必须每天以"做得更好、做得更多、成为更好"的决心开始——为了我们的客户、员工、合作伙伴和整个世界。我们必须在每天结束时,知道明天还能做得更多。领导者创造的价值多于消耗的价值,总是让事物变得比发现时更好。
