Last night I had the pleasure to mingle with leaders at the AWS ExecLeaders Networking Dinner event in my hometown - loads of insightful and fruitful discussions!
๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐: LAURA WINTERLING ๐๐๐, who came all the way over from Cologne on one of the very rare permits ๐, sparked many of those discussions with her inspiring keynote “๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐จ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ: ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด.” She opened our eyes to peek into an entirely different world of space travel while providing insights that are very applicable to our daily business world. ๐ก ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐: Perfection vs. Excellence and taking decisions at the right point in time - these themes really stick with me. In the Amazon world: “Insist on the highest standards” versus “Bias for action.”
๐ฅ ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ง๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐: We also talked about team compositions. Laura explained how they don’t just build “teams” but form a “crew.” All crew members have skin in the game - no blame, just joint delivery focus, everyone picks up the slack. Anything else doesn’t work in space travel.
๐ฏ Special Shout out: Kudos to the #AWS Monetization Team back at IBC - International Broadcasting Convention. You are a crew! - https://lnkd.in/dsUvr_Ms
๐ Gratitude Thanks to Laura for joining us, Christian Breitwieser for setting this up, Alexander Mรผller for kicking it off, and - last but not least - everyone who joined in for great conversations!
