Right the king of the e-commerce, infact, always worked by dividing the decisions in two categories. On a side there are the decisions “one way door”, the decisions from which it’s very hard to come back. Like the one to leave the position of CEO, for example.

And the decisions “two way door”. From those decisions it’s possible to come back.

Bezos leaves the direction and he doesn’t want to know nothing more about the “two way door” decisions. By the way, being him the Executive President, he will be called to decide about all the decisions of the category “one way door”.
