The article takes aim at Bezos's famous "14 Leadership Principles" [1] and I think very wisely so. These principles are severely lacking. The word "ethic" does not appear. Even the bullet point devoted to employees is framed entirely around employee output ("Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion."). > 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. Read this in the context of their current behavior around factory workers to understand how sick the mindset truly is. Leaders should have relentlessly high standards for themselves. They should not expect humans to perform manual labor at super-human levels. That's called abuse. [1] - https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles
