Jeff Bezos has a 'two pizza rule' that helps him to banish unnecessary gatherings from his schedule. via CNBCMakeIt
American companies hold an estimated 11 million meetings every day. That's a lot of hours in the conference room.
To avoid these time-wasting gatherings and ensure that his schedule is only filled with meetings that are worth his time, Bezos follows a very strict rule of thumb. In addition to convening with Amazon investors for just six hours a year and avoiding early morning meetings, Business Insider reports that the self-made billionaire has a"two pizza rule" that helps him to banish unnecessary gatherings from his schedule.
Research shows that fewer meetings can boost employee and organizational productivity, and many other leaders have methods like Bezos' for reigning in what they see as time-wasting gatherings. "People are always surprised by that," he tells CNBC Make It,"and I tell them you can get plenty of stuff done in 32 and 40 hours if you cut out all the stuff that's taking up your time."
