Jeff Bezos: This is the 'smartest thing we ever did' at Amazon (via CNBCMakeIt)
Jeff Bezos has a nontraditional management style at Amazon, and he says Amazon's unique twist on meeting structure is the "smartest thing we ever did."Bush Center's Forum on LeadershipTo replace the PowerPoint presentations, Bezos created a new way to hold meetings: Meetings start with each attendee sitting and silently reading a ""[The memo is] supposed to create the context for what will then be a good discussion," Bezos said.
Bezos says the reason for the group reading is that "executives will bluff their way through the meeting as if they've read the memo because we're busy and so you've got to actually carve out the time for the memo to get read."Jack Dorsey uses a similar method"Most of my meetings are now Google doc-based, starting with 10 minutes of reading and commenting directly in the doc," Dorsey tweeted in 2018.
He explained that PowerPoint slides often have "obscure information." Bezos prefers memos, he says, because each have "verbs and sentences and topic sentences and complete paragraphs.", Bezos said by "tradition at Amazon, authors' names never appear on the memos. The memo is from the whole team."
