Entrepreneurial life is a journey where you are expected to be as malleable as gold or as resilient as a tardigrade.
Amazon and its eccentric founder Jeff Bezos are the best example. Whether it’s the resilience of Amazon or the malleability seen in the behaviour of Bezos and his colleagues, these traits form the backbone of Amazon’s rise from a startup to tech behemoth.
Closer to home, Rob van den Heuvel, Bas Smeulders, and Sabi Tolou, the co-founders of Sendcloud, exhibit the same resilience and malleability that made Amazon great in the first place.
