The leadership principles are nonsensical because (no joke) they occur in pairs labelling extrema of various dimensions, the point being that _every_ activity can be described as lying on some point in 7-dimensional bullshit space, and that point can be either characterized as close to or far from some leadership principle. I don't know how else to describe it, but it's just a justification system for a deep hierarchy to belittle the workers. I say this having worked years in the inner engineering sanctum of Apple where none of this bullshit existed (both during and after the Steve Jobs era).

Not to defend Amazon's LP's, I learned early on their only utility was to weaponize them in arguments where you can retroactively think of ways to justify your position with them, but are they literally opposed pairs? I don't disagree that they're often contradictory but I can't come up with directly opposed pairings. (Not that it matters to your point, it's just bugging me to be spinning my wheels trying to come up with the pairs)

Where did Amazon go wrong and how did Apple do better?
