If you run a business, at one point or another you’ve probably said to yourself when facing some obstacle ahead of you, “What would Amazon do if they were in this situation?”
Or maybe, “What would Jeff Bezos do?”
One person who is uniquely qualified to answer that question is my guest on the show today, John Rossman.
He is a former executive at Amazon and was responsible for launching and scaling Amazon Marketplace, which now accounts for more than half of all sales at Amazon.com.
He previously wrote The Amazon Way, and this year published a brand new book. It’s called Think Like Amazon: 50 1/2 Ideas to Become a Digital Leader.
To gain incredible insights on how one of the world’s largest and most successful companies thinks and operates, check out today’s interview.
