6. Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon)
 Leadership style- Autocratic, Task-oriented

quantify all aspects of running the company, often listing employees on
spreadsheets and basing executive decisions on data.
 After the 2000s, to get forward he followed the mantra “Get Big Fast”.
 Bezos uses the term "work–life harmony" instead of the more standard "work–
life balance" because he believes that balance implies that you can only have
one and not the other.

verbally abusing his employees.
 Like “ I’m sorry, did I take my stupid pills today?”, “Are you lazy or just incompetent”.
