When reflecting on your experience working with the teammates you've supervised in the past, consider the things they've said to you, the feedback you've received, or comments made in your previous performance reviews. Find those which align with some of the keywords Amazon uses when describing their ideal leaders, such as just, committed, empathetic, fun, fostering growth, empowerment, vision, and success. Study all of Amazon's leadership principles, and try to identify those descriptives which have been related to you by your peers in the past. This exercise will help you align yourself with their ideal candidate.

In Jeff Bezos's farewell letter as CEO of the company, he said, "I think we need to do a better job for our employees. It's clear to me that we need a better vision for how we create value for employees... a vision for their success." It was at this time that he announced two new leadership principles. One of which was 'Strive to be Earth's Best Employer,' which says, "Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment. They lead with empathy, have fun at work, and make it easy for others to have fun. Leaders ask themselves: Are my fellow employees growing? Are they empowered? Are they ready for what's next? Leaders have a vision for and commitment to their employees' personal success, whether that be at Amazon or elsewhere."

"They'd say I am happy-go-lucky and a force of positivity with a great attitude. They say I am a great coach, lead by example, and am self-accountable, reliable, and supportive. They have said many times that they enjoy working with me and learning from me."
