Fact of the Day 1: 250 Facts for the curious
A look inside the culture of Amazon, one of the most successful companies in the world, and of its relentless, brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos. When Amazon.com launched in 1995, it was with the mission "to be Earth's most customer-centric company." Through creating and sustaining a culture of innovation, the company has proven a track record of building and scaling new businesses. The "Day 1" mentality means that even though Amazon is 26 years old, the company approaches every day like it's the first day of their new startup -- to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, innovate and invent, and focus on delighting customers. Preparing to interview at Amazon? Curious about Amazon's core principles? Inside this book are 250 bite-sized facts ranging from origin stories about Amazon, Jeff Bezos-isms, frameworks for decision making, emotional intelligence in leadership, applications of artificial intelligence, trends popular among Gen Z, and much more. Facts "tickle the brain" and "are bite-sized yet useful."
