Amazon Leadership Principles - Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility
Which version of this story best demonstrates Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility? Version 1: "I was working on the payment system and noticed a potential data leak. I escalated it to the security team. They fixed the issue, and the system was secure again." Version 2: "We noticed a data leak risk during testing and decided to delay the release. We worked together to fix the problem, and customer trust was maintained." Version 3: "I found a data leak risk outside my team's scope and took initiative to investigate. I identified the root cause and coordinated with security to deploy a fix. The leak was closed, protecting customer data." Version 4: "During routine checks, I spotted a 0.5% data leak rate in a service outside my team. I traced the issue, wrote a patch, and coordinated rollout with Security. The leak rate dropped to zero, protecting sensitive customer data and preserving trust."

Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -- outside own team in Versions 3 and 4.
  2. Step 2: Check for individual ownership -- 'I' used consistently in Versions 3 and 4.
  3. Step 3: Look for specific metric and impact -- Version 4 states 0.5% leak rate and drop to zero.
  4. Step 4: Confirm Version 4 has all signals; others miss one or more.
Quick Trick: Scope + I + metric + impact = strongest.
