Jeff Bezos: "You'll always want these things!"
Bezos says these things are not going to change
Here’s how we puts it:
‘What’s going to change in the next 10 years?’ I almost never get the question: ‘What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?’
And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. …
[I]n our retail business, we know that customers want low prices, and I know that’s going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It’s impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, ‘Jeff I love Amazon; I just wish the prices were a little higher,’ [or] ‘I love Amazon; I just wish you’d deliver a little more slowly.’
Impossible.
And so the effort we put into those things, spinning those things up, we know the energy we put into it today will still be paying off dividends for our customers 10 years from now.
When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it.
Why share this? Because Bezos’ insights are 100% true for talent
People will always want to realize their potential and develop their human capital, build their best career and earn the most, get ahead in life, and lead the best lives they possibly can
Companies will always want to get the best talent they can, grow their business, sale more, earn more, drive their stock prices up, and become more valuable
Communities will always want their people to develop their talent, become employable and earn the most, and lead the best lives they possibly can
Talent is a must—Not a “nice-to-have”
Finding your talent is a must.
Developing your talent is a must.
Constantly upgrading your talent is a must.
Owning your career is a must.
And at the same time—
Connecting with and getting the best talent is a must.
Getting the most from your talent base is a must.
Enabling your talent base to be their best is a must.
Talent is your key future-shaping factor
It’s not new, but it’s more critical than ever before
Whether you’re an individual or a business, in the chaotic and disrupted future of work highly developed high-value talent is your single most important advantage.
