Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find

JEFF BEZOS HAS 
BUILT A SUPER 
SUCCESSFUL 
BUSINESS 
BASED ON 14 EX-
TREMELY POW-
ERFUL AMAZON 
LEADERSHIP 
PRINCIPLES.
What are the values that drive your work? Do they include a com-
mitment to honesty? A desire to innovate?
What about the companies you are a part of ? Do these businesses 
or organizations stick to a particular set of values and principles? 
Have these values been communicated, if established at all?
Having a strong set of values can pave the way towards success. Su-
per successful Amazon has and operates by its own set of leader-
ship principles--a set of principles referred to during company de-
cision-making, problem-solving, simple brainstorming, and even 
hiring.
