Meeting Prep Document

A successful meeting hinges on starting with a well-crafted document that provides clarity and structure, akin to a six-page memo utilized by organizations like Amazon. This document should facilitate a focused discussion by ensuring all participants are well-informed, which is why a designated silent reading period, or 'study hall,' precedes the meeting. This approach avoids the pitfalls of attendees arriving unprepared, allowing for deeper engagement. The beauty of meetings emerges from the balance between structured preparation provided by the document and the organic, exploratory nature of discussions that follow. It is through this process that participants can achieve breakthrough insights and robust problem-solving.
