How to get the best results from meetings aka six page memo
The key to successful meetings lies in using a six page memo approach, as practiced at Amazon and Blue Origin, which ensures clarity and productivity. By starting meetings with a 30-minute silent reading session of the memo, all participants are on the same page and can engage in a high-level discussion without the distractions and biases of a PowerPoint presentation. Writing a six page memo is a rigorous process that takes time and effort, but it results in a document that addresses questions comprehensively and prevents interruptions during the meeting. The memo author's vulnerability in sharing their thoughts first fosters better ideas and prevents premature judgment, making meetings more effective and insightful.
