Bias for Action
The right answer, if late, is the wrong answer.
During my time at AWS, one Amazon "Peculiarism" that shaped how I approach decisions is the idea of "two-way door decisions".
If a decision is low risk and reversible, don’t wait for perfect information. Take it, test it, and adjust if needed. Its like walking through a door you can always come back from.
This way of thinking is deeply tied to the "Bias for Action" leadership principle. Speed matters, and so does learning. Not every decision needs long analysis, meetings and PowerPoint slides.
Would you like to know some more Amazon "Peculiarisms"? I can think of around 10 from the top of my head.
