Amazon as a name is indicative of an entity that powers itself by its sheer size, volume, and diversity. Nothing stands in its way. Everything about it is mighty, be it in the form of a South American river which is said to push back the significantly vast Pacific Ocean with its sheer volume and speed when it meets it, or a mighty worldwide enterprise which is pushing and changing the very landscape of commerce, buying, selling, and servicing in ways unimaginable just a few years back.
While nature powers the river Amazon, it’s the acumen, foresight and daring on the part of Jeffrey Preston Bezos, 57, popularly known as Jeff Bezos, an American investor, industrialist, media baron and internet entrepreneur that powers Amazon, the conglomerate.
Under his able stewardship as the entity’s founder-CEO, so definingly successful has been the enterprise that the world today associates the name with just the enterprise, and not with the word’s hoary past. It has also made Bezos the richest individual according to established sources.
An enterprise they say is a reflection of the qualities of the person at its helm. It certainly holds for Jeff Bezos and his enterprise, Amazon. Both stand for success, ingenuity, and most of all, an out and out focus on customer needs be it in the present or foreseeable future, irrespective of the latter’s size or strategic worth. These besides, there are traits to Bezos’s personality that reflect on all the enterprise and endeavour he attempts. We mention some below.
Highly Competitive
There were others before Amazon but nobody these days even remembers them. Why? Because Jeff the dogged competitor quietly ate them for breakfast! And not a few but over a hundred! Yes, Jeff Bezos does not believe in competition! He believes he is there to be. And only him.
For this reason, from as early as 1998 when the world was very fresh to the idea of e-commerce to as late as January 2021, Jeff Bezos through Amazon has bought, bought, and bought some more. And what he can’t buy (whatever be the reason), he tries to invest in. Either ways, he staves competition and makes Amazon a Giant that’s only growing by the day.
His acquisitions thru Amazon too point towards his experimenting streak. Introducing the likes of kindle and cornering close to half of the market for the product is a masterstroke only the likes of Bezos can put in place. And by doing so, he has left the others including Apple a distant second!
Bezos and Amazon continue to surprise the world in different ways with amazing and thought-provoking products and services. We haven’t seen the last of them for sure, and only time will tell where this Amazon of an organization is likely to take the world of commerce. After all, it flows fast, and it is BIG in every sense!
