It was the only people that mattered there who had an opinion on this were Andy Jassy and God, and God was sort of absent. So great. We're just going to leave it to Andy. Andy went deep. Andy understood every aspect of this stuff. In fact, a year ago, he went to re-invent in Las Vegas and gave a talk on stage, I think because he missed it. He missed being able to get up there and talk about computers with people because now he has to ship underpants all over the world instead. Right. But is he technical? Because he's an MBA, is he not? This is one of the dangerous things that I found people underestimate Amazon leadership on is it is never the smart bet to assume that they don't understand the technical nuances of the things that they are working with. They go so sarcastically deep in so many different ways that it is never a smart move to say that they don't understand. It is unlike virtually any other tech company I've ever spoken with other than small scale ones with technical founders.”

Workers are valued for their stories and experiences, making every interaction genuine and engaging.
