When I got an internship at Amazon, I (ironically) plastered my cubicle with all the leadership principles ("LP's"), in over-happy fonts. But the leadership did not realize I was being tongue-in-cheek, and I suspect my cubicle decorations had a significant positive impact on my success there, lol. In the end I even started to believe the LP's, so maybe they knew something I didn't.


I put a framed picture of the leadership principles on my desk for much the same reason, with a similar reaction.

As corporate principles in general go, they were decent, but frequently they were used to excuse poor behavior, so... Yeah.


Hilarious! You faked it and then you made it! Love it.
