管理模式
On the surface Bezos was easygoing with a sense of humor. On the other hand, employees and chroniclers found that he was adamant 2 in his expectations of quick turnaround time on project completion and high productivity, as well as of innovativeness and intelligence. Consequently, Bezos was characterized as a relentless 4 recruiter of talented, innovative 3 individuals. Bezos and personnel According to Bezos, "People here like to invent, and as a result other people who like to invent are attracted here. And people who don't like to invent are uncomfortable here. So it's self reinforcing".
表面上，贝佐斯是一个随和而幽默的人。然而，同事和撰写者发现，他专注于项目的快速周转与效率，同时执着于创新与才能的发现。因此，贝佐斯以不遗余力招聘有天分、创新能力强的员工而出名。贝佐斯和人事经理全面检查未来员工大学成绩和 SAT的分数。贝佐斯说：“这里的员工喜欢发明，因此其他喜欢发明的人也会被吸引到这里来。不喜欢发明的人呆在亚马逊会不舒服。所以这是个自我加强的过程。”
