The Bezos Blueprint: The Communication Secrets that Power Amazon’s Success

Plenty of leaders have good ideas, but transformative leaders have sharpened the rare ability to persuade others to act on those ideas. They simplify complexity, align teams around a shared vision, and motivate people to do more than they think possible. In this engaging multimedia keynote, international bestselling author and Harvard instructor, Carmine Gallo, shows you how to leverage advanced storytelling and communication skills to stand out and get ahead, to go from where you are today to where you imagine yourself to be.

In his new book, The Bezos Blueprint, Gallo reveals the leadership and communication strategies that Jeff Bezos pioneered to fuel Amazon’s astonishing growth. As one of the most innovative and visionary entrepreneurs of our time, Bezos reimagined the way leaders write, speak, and motivate teams and customers. Former Amazonians who worked directly with Bezos have adopted these strategies as blueprints to launch their companies. Now, these tools are available to you.

The Bezos Blueprint complements Gallo’s popular books on leadership and communication that have been translated into more than forty languages and are hailed as must-reads among entrepreneurs, MBA students, and C-suite executives. Bezos, too, is a student of communication. By reimagining the way Amazonians write, speak, pitch and present, Bezos created a scalable model that fueled his company’s growth from ten people in a garage to one of the world’s most admired and influential brands.

According to former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis, “Communication is at the heart of brilliant leadership. When I spoke publicly in my military days, I would often dive into Carmine Gallo's evocative books on communication skills. Carmine now turns his lens on another visionary business leader, Jeff Bezos, analyzing the Amazon founder's extensive collection of writings and speeches for unique and actionable insights that will help anyone sharpen their communication skills.” Learn more: Bezos Blueprint | Carmine Gallo
