Episode 3 Quotable moments:
00:36: “People forget that Jeff Bezo started by himself, and then eventually, he opened or started Amazon with 10 people. So it did start as a small company and he had to encourage stakeholders and investors and partners and employees to rally around a vision. So that's what I learned from Bezos and other exceptional leaders, that we all need a North star.”
01:56: “[Jeff Bezos] really had to make sure that everybody involved with building that company was aware that things had to be super simple, easy to use, and gave customers a sense of trust so it would make sense that the vision was Earth's most customer-centric company.”
05:49: “When you walked into a meeting with Jeff Bezos, everyone who's worked with him will tell you this. There's an empty chair in the room. What does the empty chair symbolize? The empty chair symbolizes the most important voice in the room, the person who is not there, and that's the customer. What would the customer think of your idea? How would that idea simplify their life? How would it make them better?"
06:31: "Whether it's a household company, whether it's a sports team, whether it's a startup or an organization, or a department, someone has to be the keeper of the vision because people need to be led."
