All 16 Leadership Principles,
read like a Bar Raiser.

What this page covers

The pillar covers all 16 LPs in summary form. This page goes deep on each one. For every LP you get the Amazon-published lead sentence verbatim, what a Bar Raiser is actually probing for, a do-this resume bullet with worked example, the anti-pattern to delete, and the behavioral interview probe a recruiter would tag the LP against.

Quick answer

How do you use the 16 Leadership Principles on your Amazon resume?

Embed LP language inside the achievement itself, never as a labeled list. Tag 6 to 10 bullets across the experience section with the LP they most clearly map to, leading each bullet with the exact LP name and a colon, followed by a quantified outcome: Dive Deep: identified a 12% latency regression in an upstream service and restored SLA in 6 days. Use exact Amazon punctuation for the LP name (Are Right, A Lot with the comma; Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit with the semicolon). Distribute LPs across roles so each role carries 2 to 4 distinct LP-tagged bullets with different denominators (latency percent, dollar saved, OSHA TRIR, headcount sponsored). A standalone Leadership Principles I Embody block is the most-flagged 2026 anti-pattern. Scan your draft to see where the density falls short. Scan your resume for LP density.

Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles are not aspirational copy on a careers page. They are the scorecard. Each interviewer in a 4-to-6 person loop is pre-assigned 2 to 3 LPs by the hiring manager, asks behavioral questions tagged to those LPs, and writes up the candidate against each LP individually in the post-loop debrief.

The Bar Raiser, who sits outside the hiring team and holds veto power, reads the entire resume and the loop notes through the same LP lens. The count has been stable at 16 since mid-2021, when Amazon added Strive to be Earth's Best Employer and Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility to the original 14.

The amazon.jobs recruiter view and the Bar Raiser scorecard both index on verb-plus-numeral pairs adjacent to LP language. A bullet that reads passionate about diving deep into customer problems fails both: no metric, and the LP language (Dive Deep) is buried inside a values-phrase rather than tagged at the front.

A bullet that reads Dive Deep: identified a 12% latency regression in an upstream identity service and restored p99 SLA from 612ms to 380ms in 6 days passes both. The 16 entries below give you that pattern for each LP, plus the anti-pattern to delete and the interview probe a recruiter would tag the LP against.

01
Leadership Principle 01

Customer Obsession

Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you have a documented mechanism for surfacing a customer signal (NPS drop, support ticket cluster, churn cohort, p99 latency complaint) and routing it to a decision. Bar Raisers are alert to candidates who talk about caring about customers without naming the signal they actually watched.

Do this on the resume

Lead with the customer signal you found, the decision it triggered, and the numeric outcome. Verb plus numeral, never the word passionate.

Customer Obsession: investigated a 14% spike in onboarding support tickets, traced root cause to a silent OAuth redirect failure on Safari, shipped a fix in 4 days. NPS recovered from 38 to 52 within one cycle.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Generic empathy bullets with no signal, no decision, no numeral. The phrase passionate about the customer is the most-flagged Customer Obsession anti-pattern in 2026 application reviews.

Passionate about delivering world-class customer experiences and obsessed with putting the customer first in every product decision.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you used a customer insight to drive a decision that the rest of the team initially disagreed with.”

02
Leadership Principle 02

Ownership

Leaders are owners. They think long term and do not sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you took on work outside your charter when the long-term outcome required it, and whether you protected a long-term investment when shipping a short-term result. Bar Raisers index on a paired short-term and long-term outcome in the same artifact.

Do this on the resume

Pair the short-term shipped result with the long-term tradeoff you protected. Name the cycle, the system, and the downstream cost you avoided.

Ownership: shipped the Q3 checkout redesign on commit while refactoring the auth path so the Q1 SSO migration cost zero re-platform days and 0 incidents in the following 6 months.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Bullets that claim ownership but list only the title or role. Owner is a label, not an outcome. Bar Raisers discount any bullet that uses the verb owned without naming the system, the timeline, and the downstream artifact.

Owned the full product roadmap for the checkout team and was responsible for end-to-end delivery of all major initiatives.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you took on work outside your job description because it was the right thing for the long-term outcome.”

03
Leadership Principle 03

Invent and Simplify

Leaders expect and require innovation and invention from their teams and always find ways to simplify.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether the invention removed complexity rather than added it. Bar Raisers are skeptical of bullets that describe building a new platform without naming the systems it replaced or the steps it cut. Simplify is the load-bearing verb here.

Do this on the resume

Quantify the services, code paths, or process steps removed. Replacing 5 systems with 2 reads stronger than launched a new platform.

Invent and Simplify: replaced a 5-service order-routing pipeline with 2 services and a shared event bus; cut p99 routing latency from 840ms to 210ms; deprecated 11K lines of glue code.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Innovation bullets without a deletion. Built a new dashboard or launched a new feature with no mention of what got retired reads as additive complexity, not invention.

Led the innovation initiative to build a new internal analytics platform with cutting-edge AI capabilities.

Sample interview probe

“Walk me through a time you made something dramatically simpler by removing rather than adding.”

04
Leadership Principle 04

Are Right, A Lot

Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you can cite a specific contrarian call and the post-hoc evidence it was right. Bar Raisers also look for the inverse: a call you got wrong, what you learned, and the next call you adjusted. Calibration is the signal.

Do this on the resume

Name the call, the people who disagreed, the decision you made, and the post-hoc data that validated it. Include the rough date range so the result is auditable.

Are Right, A Lot: in Q2 2024, recommended against rebuilding the loyalty service on a new framework over team consensus; rebuild was paused, 6-month cycle redirected to caching layer that cut request volume 41% and made the rebuild unnecessary.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Bullets that claim data-driven without naming what data, what decision, what alternative was considered. Also bullets that only describe times you were right, with no calibration on times you were wrong.

Made data-driven decisions to drive strategic initiatives across multiple cross-functional teams.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time your instincts told you something different from what the data initially suggested, and you were proven right.”

05
Leadership Principle 05

Learn and Be Curious

Leaders are never done learning and always seek to improve themselves.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you have a specific upskilling outcome attached to a date or domain transfer. Bar Raisers discount continuous learner phrasing immediately; they look for a domain you did not own 6 months ago that you own now.

Do this on the resume

Anchor to a concrete artifact: a domain you took ownership of in 90 days, a certification with a date, an internal transfer, a new tech stack you shipped against.

Learn and Be Curious: in 90 days, transitioned from frontend ownership to owning a Rust-based ingestion service handling 2.3B daily events; shipped 4 production changes in first quarter on the new stack.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Continuous learner, lifelong learner, curious problem-solver. None of these phrases name a domain, a date, or an outcome. They read as filler to a Bar Raiser.

Continuous learner with a strong growth mindset and a passion for staying current with emerging technologies.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about the last time you intentionally moved outside your area of expertise to learn something new for the job.”

06
Leadership Principle 06

Hire and Develop the Best

Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you have raised a bar measurably: a promo you sponsored with the post-promo outcome, a rubric you authored, a hire who became a top performer. For L6 and above, Bar Raisers want at least one hire-to-promo arc with named timelines.

Do this on the resume

Cite a promotion you sponsored with the post-promo artifact (system shipped, team built). For L4 and L5, an internship-mentor or onboarding-buddy outcome works.

Hire and Develop the Best: sponsored 3 L4 to L5 promotions in 18 months; 2 of the 3 are now tech leads on services I previously owned. Authored the L5 SDE rubric used by 4 sibling teams.

Avoid this anti-pattern

People-management bullets that just count headcount. Managed a team of 12 says nothing about the bar. The post-2024 layoff context has made this anti-pattern especially costly: it reads as the manager layers Amazon has been thinning.

Managed a team of 12 engineers and was responsible for performance reviews, hiring, and team development.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about someone whose career you developed, and what they did next that proved your investment was right.”

07
Leadership Principle 07

Insist on the Highest Standards

Leaders have relentlessly high standards, many people may think these are unreasonably high.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you held an unpopular line on quality, safety, or a metric, and what it cost you in the short term. Bar Raisers want the pushback narrative: who disagreed, what you held, what the post-hoc data showed.

Do this on the resume

Pick the metric where you held the line: defect rate, SLA, MTTR, OSHA TRIR, code-coverage threshold, design-review pass rate. State the baseline, the unpopular standard, and the result.

Insist on the Highest Standards: held a 95% unit-test threshold against PM pressure to ship without coverage; production defects in the affected service dropped 62% over the following 2 quarters; threshold adopted as team default.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Quality-focused, detail-oriented, results-driven. These read as adjectives in a feedback round, not as standards a Bar Raiser can audit.

Quality-focused engineer with strong attention to detail and a results-driven mindset.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you refused to ship something because it was not at the bar, and the cost of holding the line.”

08
Leadership Principle 08

Think Big

Thinking small is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Leaders create and communicate a bold direction.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you scoped a problem up rather than down. Bar Raisers look for a reframe artifact: a 6-pager that redefined the problem, an OP1 input that expanded the denominator, a market-expansion plan that you actually shipped.

Do this on the resume

Scale the bullet to the largest defensible denominator: revenue, headcount touched, regions, GMV, percentage of company traffic. Name the reframe explicitly when there was one.

Think Big: wrote a 6-pager reframing same-day delivery as a routing-density problem rather than a capacity problem; mechanism rolled to 9 metros over 14 months; cut promised-to-delivered time from 4.1 hours to 2.3 hours; zero net-new DCs.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Strategic, visionary, big-picture thinker. Vision without a denominator is decoration. Also avoid bullets that claim Think Big for projects with a 3-person scope.

Strategic thinker with a track record of driving visionary initiatives that transform the business.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you reframed a problem so the solution had 10x the impact of the original ask.”

09
Leadership Principle 09

Bias for Action

Speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you can name a time-to-decision or time-to-ship metric. Bar Raisers also probe for reversible-versus-irreversible judgment: did you move fast on a reversible call, and did you slow down on an irreversible one. Both halves matter.

Do this on the resume

Use time-to-decision, time-to-ship, or time-to-recover as the headline metric. Pair with the reversibility judgment when available.

Bias for Action: cut launch-decision cycle for A/B-tested copy changes from 14 days to 3 days by classifying them as reversible 2-way doors; 41 experiments shipped in the next quarter, up from 12 in the prior quarter.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Move fast, scrappy, get-things-done attitude. None of these name a decision cycle. Also avoid bias-for-action bullets that omit reversibility: moving fast on an irreversible decision is not the LP.

Scrappy operator who moves fast and gets things done in high-ambiguity environments.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a decision you made with about 70% of the information you would have liked. What was the outcome?”

10
Leadership Principle 10

Frugality

Accomplish more with less. Constraints breed resourcefulness, self-sufficiency, and invention.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you generated a measurable savings or output gain under a constraint. Bar Raisers want a baseline, a cut, and the mechanism. Bonus signal if the savings came from a vendor consolidation, infra restructure, or headcount avoided.

Do this on the resume

State the baseline and the cut in dollars, headcount, or infra units. Name the mechanism so the savings are auditable.

Frugality: cut $1.4M annual infra spend 38% via reserved-instance restructuring and Graviton migration; avoided 3 incremental SRE hires by automating the on-call escalation rubric.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Cost-conscious, lean operator, did more with less. The phrase did more with less without numbers is the most-cited Frugality anti-pattern from Bar Raiser internal training, per tier-2 reporting.

Cost-conscious operator who consistently does more with less and drives operational efficiency.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time a constraint (budget, headcount, time) forced a better solution than you would have built without it.”

11
Leadership Principle 11

Earn Trust

Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you de-escalated or rebuilt a relationship without changing the underlying ownership. Cross-functional artifacts, upward-feedback uplift, and skip-level retention all read as Earn Trust. Bar Raisers are wary of bullets that claim trust without naming the audience.

Do this on the resume

Cite a cross-functional win, a 360-review uplift, a conflict you de-escalated, or a skip-level you retained through a difficult period. Name the audience and the artifact.

Earn Trust: rebuilt working relationship with the PXT partner team after a missed launch; quarterly stakeholder survey scored 4.6 of 5 from 2.9 of 5 within 2 cycles; preserved 100% of skip-level retention through the reorg.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Strong communicator, trusted partner, built strong relationships. None of these are auditable. Earn Trust bullets without a named counterparty or a survey delta read as filler.

Trusted partner across the organization with a reputation for strong communication and collaborative relationships.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you had to deliver candid feedback that you knew would not be well received.”

12
Leadership Principle 12

Dive Deep

Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to the details, audit frequently.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you went to the metric layer, not the dashboard layer. Bar Raisers look for the specific subsystem, the specific delta, and the specific recovery. The classic Dive Deep bullet has a numeric anomaly and a 6-to-14-day recovery window.

Do this on the resume

Specific subsystem, specific delta, specific recovery window. The denser the bullet, the cleaner the LP-to-metric tag for the amazon.jobs parser.

Dive Deep: identified a 12% latency regression in an upstream identity service via a 30-line shadow-traffic harness; restored p99 SLA from 612ms to 380ms in 6 days; harness adopted by 2 sibling teams.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Detail-oriented, hands-on, comfortable in the weeds. None of these name the subsystem or the delta. Dive Deep bullets that stay at the dashboard layer (looked at metrics, reviewed reports) miss the LP entirely.

Hands-on engineering leader who is comfortable diving deep into technical details when needed.

Sample interview probe

“Walk me through the last time you found a problem by going deeper than the team had gone before. What did you find that nobody else had seen?”

13
Leadership Principle 13

Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit

Leaders are obligated to respectfully challenge decisions when they disagree.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you can show both halves: the disagree (named position, named decision-maker) and the commit (specific action you took after the call went against you). Most candidates drop the commit half. Bar Raisers are trained to ask for it specifically.

Do this on the resume

Name the decision, your position, the decision-maker, your commit step after the call, and the outcome. The four-part structure is what indexes cleanly.

Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit: disagreed with VP decision to consolidate the search and recommendation stacks; held position through 3 review cycles; once committed, led the migration team and delivered the consolidated stack 3 weeks ahead of plan with 0 SEV-2s.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Bullets that name the disagree but not the commit, or vice versa. Also bullets where the candidate disagreed and then sandbagged execution. Bar Raisers tag that as a no on the LP, not a partial credit.

Pushed back on the leadership decision and advocated strongly for an alternative approach throughout the project.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager on a significant decision, and what happened after.”

14
Leadership Principle 14

Deliver Results

Leaders focus on the key inputs for their business and deliver them with the right quality.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you have a consistent delivery record across multiple cycles, not a single highlight. Bar Raisers count: how many OP1 commits hit, how many quarters in a row, how many ship dates met without quality regressions. Density beats peak.

Do this on the resume

On-time-and-on-quality across multiple cycles. Cite the goal, the delivered metric, and the cycle count. Hit 6 of 6 OP1 commits is denser than consistently delivered.

Deliver Results: hit 6 of 6 OP1 commits across 18 months as service owner; on-time at-or-above-quality for every ship; 0 SEV-1s in the service over the same period; team rolled out to 4 new markets without timeline slip.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Consistently delivered, exceeded expectations, results-driven. These read as performance-review filler. Also avoid Deliver Results bullets that highlight one big win without showing the cadence.

Consistently delivered against ambitious goals and exceeded expectations in every quarter of my tenure.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a long-running goal where the inputs you focused on changed across cycles. How did you keep delivering?”

15
Leadership Principle 15

Strive to be Earth's Best Employer

Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing workplace.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you moved a safety, attrition, or engagement metric. For Operations roles, OSHA TRIR is load-bearing. For corporate roles, attrition rate, engagement-score delta, or accommodation programs read cleanly. Bar Raisers want a baseline, a delta, and a mechanism.

Do this on the resume

Pick the workplace-quality metric you moved. State the baseline, the mechanism, and the delta. Operations roles weight this LP heavily; corporate roles weight it more at L6 and above.

Strive to be Earth's Best Employer: cut DC OSHA TRIR from 4.8 to 2.6 in 11 weeks via per-shift 8-minute safety standup and pallet-jack lane rework; receive throughput +3%; playbook adopted by 3 sibling DCs.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Champion of inclusion, fostered a great workplace, cared deeply about team culture. None of these are auditable. Workplace-quality bullets without a metric read as filler.

Champion of an inclusive workplace culture, fostering a sense of belonging across diverse teams.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a time you moved a workplace-quality metric (safety, attrition, engagement) on a team you led or influenced.”

16
Leadership Principle 16

Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility

We are big, we impact the world, and we are far from perfect.

Amazon's lead sentence
Bar Raiser probe

Whether you factored a downstream impact (community, regulatory, environmental, accessibility) into a design or rollout. Weighted heavily at L7 and above. Bar Raisers also probe for humility: where the impact was negative, what you did about it.

Do this on the resume

Cite a design or rollout decision where you factored a downstream impact and the mechanism that captured it. Most candidates have at most one such artifact; that is fine.

Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility: in 2025 rollout of an emissions-aware routing layer, factored regional grid intensity into shipment routing decisions; cut estimated routing-related emissions 11% across pilot region without SLA slip; methodology peer-reviewed by sustainability org.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Mission-driven, purpose-led, committed to making a positive impact. These are taglines, not artifacts. Also avoid claiming this LP at L4 or L5 unless you have a concrete downstream-impact decision to anchor it.

Mission-driven leader committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.

Sample interview probe

“Tell me about a decision where you factored in a stakeholder beyond the immediate customer or business unit. What was the tradeoff?”

You do not need to hit all 16 LPs on the resume. You need to hit 6 to 10 with distinct denominators, distributed across roles so each role carries 2 to 4 LP-tagged bullets. The first read by a recruiter is roughly 30 seconds; the Bar Raiser pass is closer to 2 to 3 minutes. Both want pattern density, not LP completeness.

For an L5 SDE targeting an AWS posting, a clean coverage map is: Dive Deep on a service-ownership bullet, Deliver Results across two OP cycles, Invent and Simplify on a deprecation, Bias for Action on a time-to-decision metric, Customer Obsession on a support-ticket-to-fix bullet, Earn Trust on a cross-team handoff, and Are Right, A Lot on a contrarian technical call. That is seven LPs, seven different denominators, distributed across three to five roles.

For an L6 Senior PM, swap Customer Obsession to the front, add Hire and Develop the Best on a promo you sponsored, and add Think Big on a roadmap reframe. For an L5 Operations Manager, lead with Insist on the Highest Standards (OSHA TRIR), pair with Deliver Results (network commit), and use Strive to be Earth's Best Employer for safety or attrition deltas. See the Levels spoke for the full L4 to L11 ladder and the STAR examples spoke for a 30-bullet bank organized by LP and seniority.

FAQ

Leadership Principles on the resume FAQ

The questions candidates surface specifically about LPs, after they have read the pillar. Answers are byte-identical to the FAQPage JSON-LD, because AI engines that extract HTML and AI engines that extract JSON-LD should not see different text.

Which Leadership Principles matter most for SDE roles at Amazon?

For SDE loops, the weighting in practice (driven by which LPs the hiring manager assigns to interviewers) clusters around Dive Deep, Deliver Results, Invent and Simplify, and Bias for Action. AWS-specific loops add Customer Obsession and Insist on the Highest Standards. Amazon does not publish an official LP-by-role weighting matrix, so this read is from tier-2 sources (Exponent, IGotAnOffer, ApexInterviewer) and Bar Raiser commentary, not from Amazon directly.

Can I list all 16 Leadership Principles on my resume?

No. Embed LP language inside the achievement itself rather than as a labeled list. A standalone Leadership Principles I Embody block is the most-flagged anti-pattern in 2026 application reviews. The strongest pattern is to tag 6 to 10 bullets across the experience section with the LP they most clearly map to, leaving the other LPs to come out in the interview loop.

Do Bar Raisers expect candidates to use exact LP wording on the resume?

Yes for the LP name itself, no for the entire description. Use the exact name: Are Right, A Lot with the comma, Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit with the semicolon, Strive to be Earth's Best Employer with the apostrophe-s. The amazon.jobs parser is character-sensitive. The bullet body should be a quantified outcome, not a paraphrase of Amazon's lead sentence.

Are there new Leadership Principles being added in 2026?

No. The count has been stable at 16 since mid-2021, when Amazon added Strive to be Earth's Best Employer and Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility to the original 14. No additions, renames, or removals are reflected on the live amazon.jobs page as of 2026-05-28. Plan your resume against the current 16.

How many LP-tagged bullets should I include per role on my resume?

Two to four LP-tagged bullets per role for L4 and L5 candidates, three to five for L6 and above. The Bar Raiser scorecard reads density, not count, so each bullet must carry a distinct LP or a distinct denominator. Repeating the same LP across multiple roles without varying the denominator (latency, dollars, headcount, OSHA TRIR) collapses the signal.

What if my background only fits 5 or 6 of the 16 Leadership Principles?

That is fine and probably honest. Tagging your strongest 5 to 7 LPs across the resume reads more credibly than forcing a thin example for every LP. The loop will cover 8 to 15 LPs across 4 to 6 interviews regardless of what is on the page. Choose the LPs where you have at least one resume-quality artifact (named metric, named cycle, named outcome).

Which LP gets weighted most heavily for L6 and L7 candidates?

At L6 the loop adds Hire and Develop the Best as a load-bearing LP, especially if the role has direct reports. At L7 the wider band brings Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit and Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility into heavier weight. Earn Trust matters at every level but becomes auditable through cross-org artifacts (rubric adoption, sibling-team handoffs) at L6 and above.

Should the LP name appear at the start of the bullet or inside it?

At the start, as a colon-prefixed tag. Dive Deep: identified a 12% latency regression scans cleaner for both the amazon.jobs parser and a Bar Raiser doing a 30-second pass than burying the LP in the middle. The colon is a parsing cue. Avoid putting the LP at the end of the bullet or in a separate line below it.
