Amazon’s CEO Wants His 1.5 Million Person Company to ‘Operate Like the World’s Largest Startup.’ Here’s How He Plans to Do It.

Andy Jassy is trying to reset Amazon’s culture by getting rid of excess layers of middle management.

The Amazon CEO stated on Tuesday at the company’s annual conference for third-party sellers that he wanted to eliminate bureaucracy to help Amazon grow and innovate more quickly. Bureaucracy is not compatible with “startups” and “entrepreneurial organizations,” but it is “really easy to accumulate,” according to Jassy.

“I would say bureaucracy is really anathema to startups and to entrepreneurial organizations,” Jassy said at the event. “As you get larger, it’s really easy to accumulate bureaucracy, a lot of bureaucracy that you may not see.”
