I remember Bezos writing “You can write down your corporate culture, but when you do so, you’re discovering it, uncovering it — not creating it.” in the 2015 shareholder letter. I can’t wait for the update to the Leadership Principles. “Obsess over your competitors”, anyone?

Yeah I think Amazon Unbound was the source of many of these 'hey, wait a minute, there's a lot of competitor obsession going on at Amazon' memes in the past few months.

I think this fantastic interview between @benthompson and Brad Stone kind of gets at it a bit. Yes, customer is number one, except when they’re not, and we don’t look at competitors, except Bezos does, and it’s always Day One, except for the business units that are > 7 years old.
