Amazon Andy Jassy CEO really wants to reduce management layers.
During an internal meeting in all hand, Josi repeated his commitment to remove the layer, a step believed to reduce the bureaucracy. Amazon previously announced a plan to increase the percentage of individual shareholders to managers by 15 % by the end of March.
At a meeting on Tuesday, the CEO said that the Amazon was actively changing how to consider promotional performances. He stressed that the best leaders are those who “get the maximum resources required to carry out the mission,” according to the registration of the meeting obtained by Business Insider.
“Every new project should not take 50 or more people to do so,”
Jaci said: “The road to move forward in Amazon is the lack of accumulation of a giant and powerful team.” “There is no prize for a big team. We want to be pioneers for us to do a lot of things.”
Jaci’s comments were in response to a question about his intention to operate Amazon, such as “the largest startup in the world”. In addition to the director’s behavior, Jassy emphasized the need to build a culture of speed and beauty.
Amazon did not share how exactly reduced management layers. Some managers were informed of an increase in the number of direct reports, a fewer higher employees, and the wages were reduced to some employees, BI said previously.
In an email to BI, a Amazon spokesman said that the company has now completed this process, which affected a “relatively small sub -group of employees”. The spokesperson added that Amazon brought together the teams and transferred the managers to the roles of individual shareholders to reach its goal, and this “is not equivalent to eliminating 15 % of the roles of the manager.”
“In September 2024, we shared with the employees who set a goal to increase the percentage of individual shareholders to managers by 15 % throughout our organizations because this is the time to make us closer to customers and enhance our culture in ownership. There are a number of ways to achieve this increase. We have now reached this goal, which we believe will allow our teams to move quickly even innovation for customers.”
The merit on bureaucracy
In September, Amazon also created “no bureaucracy”, where employees can report unnecessary operations that need repair.
Jassi said during a meeting on Tuesday that he had read each of more than a thousand email messages he had received so far and that the company has made more than 375 changes as a result.
“We, as one team, are committed to getting rid of bureaucracy,” said Jaci.
When companies grow, it is normal to put more operations in place. He said that companies are often mistaken for focusing too much on adding and managing more people in exchange for improving customer experience.
“It is not how attractive. It is not if you are really good in managing or managing a side,” he said. “What matters is what we are doing already for customers. That’s what Nax. It is worthy.”
“It is your company”
Jaci also urged employees to “move quickly and act like owners.”
He said that the major companies tend to become slow and not decisive. This is a special risk in particular on Amazon, given the intense competition you face. He said that competitors include “the most technician, the most hungry” companies in the world, including startups “that operate seven days a week and 15 hours a day.
Jaci said: “One of the first 29 years of Amazon’s strengths is that we rented smart, enthusiastic, innovative and ambitious people who were great companions.” “What do I do if this was my company? By the way, it’s your company. This is all our company.”
There was another point of Jassi during the meeting that was “aware” of what was going on around Amazon. This means tracking not only Amazon goals, but technology and other companies that can be inspiring.
Jaci said: “The great companies and startups that have this real missionary enthusiasm and success are looking around.” “When you invent, you need this blind faith that you are building something that others may not think about, but you have to continue checking to make sure it is the best solution available to people.”
