For Amazon and AWS interviews I know there’s a big focus on the leadership principles. For example, when presenting a story should I tell them this shows an example of “Think Big” or should my story just show that and the interviewer should be able to connect the dots.

Your story should show that. No need to explicitly say the leadership principle

All questions are based on LP. An example of thinking big would be to design a new process that was adopted by 70% of the org leading to 30% time savings as a result of automating mechanisms.

Two hot buzz words right now. Automating and mechanism.
