Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers. Customer Obsession is great, but I often see Amazonians taking this too simplistically: "Start with the customer" doesn't have to mean "ask customers what they want and then give them faster horses".

Bi-directional accountability: A leadership shift most organizations avoid

news.ycombinator.com Al Newkirk 2025-10-14 04:52:42

Most organizations enforce one-way accountability. The CBC framework flips that, making commitments mutual, visible, and enforceable. In CBC, ambiguity is a leadership failure, and credibility comes from delivering results — not titles. When things go wrong, it’s easy to point down the org chart, much harder to look up. In most organizations, accountability flows one way. Teams are held to deadlines, deliverables, and performance metrics, while leaders enjoy a looser standard — insulated by hi

Struggling between the comfort of an individual contributor (IC) role and the desire to move into software engineering leadership? It’s a tough fork in the road that many engineers face. The idea of stepping away from hands-on technical work to move into leadership requires mastering new skills, stepping into the spotlight, and strategic thinking. It feels like a major departure from their comfort zone of code development, testing, and debugging. But the truth is, growth happens outside the comf
