> “Customer Obsession”. There are customers who depend on my team’s application — I can’t let them down!

That is also:

- Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility (We must begin each day with a determination to make better, do better, and be better for our customers)

- Deliver Results (Despite setbacks, they rise to the occasion and never settle)

- Bias for Action (We value calculated risk taking)

- Think Big (They think differently and look around corners for ways to serve customers)

- Are Right, A Lot (They have strong judgment and good instincts)

- Ownership (They never say "that's not my job")

- Dive Deep (No task is beneath them)

Clearly, Will Ye Will Ye is operating at an Amazon final-stage boss level, if only they knew [0]!

Don't blame the leadership, as apparently this is exactly what they need to be doing: To paraphrase [High Output Management], the job of an executive is: to define and enforce culture and values for their whole organization, and to ratify good decisions.
