Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is anything but a fan of the expression “work-life balance”. As part of an event, he expressed this view in an interview with the CEO of Axel Springer SE, Mathias Döpfner.
After all, he is constantly asked about the work-life balance. For Jeff Bezos, the “Work-Life Harmonie” is a thing that he gives both his young employees and the executives on the way.
Holistic relationship
As Amazon founder Jeff Bezos explains in an interview with Mathias Döpfner, the striving for a “balance” between professional and private life implies a kind of exchange, which he does not consider. Rather, work and private life are a holistic relationship for him, reports “Business Insider”. Instead of separating them from each other and making a balancing act, it is far more productive for him to see them as two integrated parts. Personally, he does not link them up in two times in the competition, but describes the relationship with each other as “mutual”.
“The reality is when I am happy at home, then I come to the office with enormous energy,” said Jeff Bezos in an interview with Mathias Döpfner. “And when I’m happy at work, then I also have enormous energy at home.” Rather, it is a cycle instead of a balance.
In 2016, he revealed to the media company “Thrive Global” that he prefers the term “harmony” to “balance”. Here, too, he stated that if he was happy at work, he was also a better husband and father. If he is happy at home, he is a better employee and colleague.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos: Like this person, you don’t want to be
It is therefore important for Jeff Bezos to pay attention to this matter. After all, nobody wants to be the type of person who sucks all the energy out of the meeting as soon as they come across it. “They don’t want to be like this person. They want to come to the office and give everyone a buoyancy”.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was considered the richest person in the world with an estimated assets of around $ 180 billion. However, according to a report by the US news company “Bloomberg”, he was able to Elon Musk be overtaken.
