How are Amazon’s leadership principles holding up under Andy Jassy?

The principles have helped define Amazon and many of the company’s huge successes. But how the principles are used may be shifting, according to a report from Fortune:

Several longtime managers told Fortune that they felt the overall intent of the leadership principles has now shifted in many situations from guidelines on how to make the right decision, to more punitive usages that come across mainly intended to point out flaws.

Amazon reports its latest earnings tomorrow.

Jeff Bezos' famed management rules are slowly unraveling inside Amazon. Can they survive the Andy Jassy era?

Here’s the robot building Amazon’s solar farms.

AES has given its Atlas solar robot some AWS smarts and redubbed it “Maximo.” It helped complete an Amazon-backed solar farm in Louisiana and is now moving on to Bellefield, California, home of the largest solar-plus-storage project in the US. According to Amazon, it can “reduce solar installation timelines and costs by as much 50 percent:”

Besides automating heavy lifting, Maximo can also perform in nearly any weather or lighting condition, which is especially useful for the Bellefield project, which is located in a sandy desert area known for extreme heat. Once Maximo arrives there later this year, the robot will work alongside crews to lift hundreds of heavy solar panels into place.
