Jeff Bezos — Don't waste your time on meetings

杰夫•贝佐斯——不要把时间浪费在开会上

Meetings can turn out to be a huge time sink. And they're not always super effective.

会议就是巨大的时间黑洞，有时效率很低。

That's why the CEO of Amazon keeps to a strict rule when it comes to meetings. He never has a meeting where two pizzas couldn't feed the whole group.

这就是亚马逊CEO杰夫•贝佐斯严格设定开会规定的原因。两份披萨够与会人员吃吗？如果够就开，如果人数比这个多，就不开了。

Why two pizzas? Well, the more people you cram into a meeting, the less effective it will be. According to Fast Company, small groups tend to be far more innovative.

为什么是两份披萨？因为与会人员越多，效率就越低。《快速公司》认为，小团体更有创新力。

By cutting out unnecessary, useless meetings, Bezos is able to devote more time toward working to further his goals every day.

削减不必要的、没用的会议后，贝佐斯每天能够有更多的时间去努力实现目标。
