Bezos is surrounded by what he calls the S-team, a team of loyal lieutenants.
The S-team consists of eighteen top executives who know how Bezos thinks, understand his values, and have a strong desire to ferret out the truth. Many have worked with Bezos for years, some over a decade, and rarely leave the company.
At one of his all-hands meetings, Bezos said, “I’m very happy that we don’t’ have a lot of turnover on the S-team. I don’t intend to change that—I like you guys a lot.”
