Your interviewer is curious about how you build relationships when entering a new work environment. Although Amazon is looking for innovators and maverick inventors, they are also looking for humble leaders who 'Earn Trust.' They expect those new to their teams to 'Earn Trust,' learn the ropes, ask lots of questions, and have a lay of the land before they start reinventing the wheel. They're looking for people who can be counted on.

Focus your answer on the leadership principle, 'Earn Trust.' And consider the words of Jeff Bezos, who said, "I think one thing I find very motivating, and I think this is probably a very common form of motivation or cause of motivation, is... I love people counting on me, and so, you know, today it's so easy to be motivated because we have millions of customers counting on us at Amazon.com. We've got thousands of investors counting on us. And we're a team of thousands of employees, all counting on each other. That's fun."

"One of sincerity. I want people to get to know me and form their own opinions based on my actions, not my words. I earn their trust by being transparent, humble, and open, and I lean on them for their insights and guidance to navigate their environment. And I build each relationship from there."
