Amazon Executive Memos - and Narrative
A lot has been written about how Jeff Bezos and his executives run their meetings, especially that their senior team has banned PowerPoint, and that each meeting starts with a six-page narrative memo which the executives read and absorb for up to 30 minutes before the conversation starts.
