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!

🌟 𝗞𝗲𝘆𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: LAURA WINTERLING 🚀🚁🚒, who came all the way over from Cologne on one of the very rare permits 😉, sparked many of those discussions with her inspiring keynote “𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴.” 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. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: 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.”

👥 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝘄𝘀: 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. Her lesson from astronaut training: anything else doesn’t work in space travel.

🎯 Special Shout out: Kudos to the #AWS Monetization Team back at IBC - International Broadcasting Convention. You are a crew! - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7373433036656263168?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7373433036656263168%2C7373629122650226689%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287373629122650226689%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7373433036656263168%29

🙏 Gratitude Thanks to Laura for joining us, Christian Breitwieser for setting this up, Alexander Müller for kicking it off, and - last but not least - everyone who joined in for great conversations!
