Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says it’s fine not to know your career end goal—even well into your 60s
The job uncertainty remains exclusively for the first professionals who still spray their way – it can continue in middle age, according to the CEO of Amazon Andy Jassy.
In a newly blocked post on Amazon, Jassy shared five tips for job growth in the long run, as she provided visions based on a personal experience and a non -written height to the top.
Jaci, who became the CEO of Amazon in 2021, has occupied a wide range of roles throughout his career: from Paralegal to football coach to the producer and investment bank manager. He said his various background is evidence that success does not require a straight line.
Jaci said in the post: “Do not be afraid to try many different things, and do not let people tell you that everything you did – even if you have done it for a while – is what you must do.” “You have the opportunity to write your own story.”
His message is particularly relevant in the dynamic workplace today, as flexibility and ability to adapt have become more valuable to the fast leaders than solid -term solid plans. He pointed out that this openness to change is not reserved for its early reaching; It often continues well in the 1940s and 1950s. Away from being a red science, Jassy looks at functional uncertainty as a natural and necessary vocational growth. In addition, the future cannot be predicted by its nature and formation through a series of axes, risks, lessons learned from failures, and unexpected opportunities.
Nike CEO, Elliott Hill, is an unexpected symbol of job paths. Hill retired from the sportswear giant in 2020 after a long period that saw him a height of the trainee to the consumer and the market in Nike. Just four years after his departure, Nike used him to return – this time, to enter the Zawiya office.
In the blog post, Jassy also stressed the importance of inserting into the emotions of the individual, saying that loyalty, not just ambition, should direct job decisions. He repeated his faith in the value of continuous learning and development, on the pretext that curiosity and self -improvement are what really distinguishes people.
Jaci said: “There are people at a certain stage of their lives who consider that they threaten that they do not know everything, or have reached a certain seniority, and they believe that it is embarrassing if they have to continue learning,” Jassi said. “But the truth is that the second stops learning is the second that started relaxing.”
He also called for a failure. The most important lessons of errors often come, provided that one has self -awareness to learn from. “If you invent and try things and pushing hard enough, you will not get everything correctly,” he said.
Beyond flexibility and curiosity, Jassy emphasized the permanent importance of the situation, strong work ethics, and cooperation. “An embarrassing fate, which makes people successful is the situation,” he said. “Do you work hard? Do you do what you said you will do? Can people trust you?”
He continued: “This seems very clear, but many people do not do these things.”
