I thought it was more along the lines of “if you’re in the minority and you aren’t convincing people then don’t invest energy into it and go with the flow”.

- falcolas 9y agoIt’s that too; the advantage of a 3 word maxim: it means what you want it to mean. My managers want the peons to follow the directions from on high. Bezos wanted to trust the people he hired to do the right thing, even if he disagreed. I, an employee, tend to go with your interpretation.

- brad0 9y agoYou’re right, I like your breakdown of the issue. The “mantra” should be a reminder of the cultural value. ie: you learn the value by seeing it in interactions between people first. The mantra then orients you toward the cultural value. Instead some people are taking the mantra and twisting it to create a culture that is useful to them. Haha, it kind of reminds me of religion. :S
