The word you're looking for is "frugality." This is a tail use case that isn't cheap to run.

Leadership principles? Are you saying some exec / director ("leader") is looking for a P&L bump for their promo doc?

You have to regurgitate (reframe your personal story in the context of) leadership principles in your interviews for an IC role too.

Individual Contributor, a euphemism for "non-management"? copilot is usually pretty good with deciphering contextual acronyms. Why "IC" instead of "NM"?

Because for whatever reason IC is an acronym widely used in the tech industry (and daily in career discussions on this website) and NM is not.

No, frugality has been an Amazon "value" from the beginning. Look up the story of Jeff Bezos famously using an old door for a desk. Or all the execs complaining about having to share a hotel room during business trips for the first couple of decades of Amazon's existence.
