Jeff Bezos Prefers 'Messy' Meetings, Be Part Of The 'Sausage-Making' Process
"You don't want the whole thing to be figured out and presented to you," he said, according to a Business Insider report. Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post and founder of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), told a group at The New York Times DealBook Summit in early December that he likes meetings to be "messy" so that he can be part of the "sausage-making" process.
亚马逊公司(NASDAQ:AMZN)的创始人兼《华盛顿邮报》老板杰夫·贝索斯在12月初纽约时报DealBook峰会上对一群人表示，他喜欢会议“杂乱无章”，这样他可以参与“制作香肠”的过程。
The Details: Bezos, well-known as the world's second richest person, is also notable for his strong opinions on how business meetings should be run.
细节：贝索斯以全球第二富豪的身份而闻名，他在商业会议应如何进行方面也颇有见地。
Bezos discouraged PowerPoint presentations at Amazon's internal meetings and set standards for meetings to seek the truth rather than to appeal or please the executives.
贝索斯在亚马逊的内部会议上不鼓励使用PowerPoint演示，并设定标准，要求会议寻求真相而不是迎合或取悦高管。
"You don't want the whole thing to be figured out and presented to you," he said, according to a Business Insider report.
根据《商业内幕》的报道，他说：“你不想让整个事情都被彻底搞定，然后再呈现给你。”
Bezos likes to begin meetings with a 30-minute window for participants to read through a detailed memo that outlines the background information and then open a "messy" discussion.
贝索斯喜欢会议开始时让参与者有30分钟的时间阅读一份详细的备忘录，备忘录概述了背景信息，然后展开一场“混乱”的讨论。
"I like the memos to be like angels singing from on high, so clear and beautiful, and then the meeting can be messy," he told The New York Times.
他说：“我希望备忘录像天使从高处唱歌一样，清晰而美丽，然后会议可以是混乱的。”
"Show me the ugly bits. I always ask, are there any dissenting opinions on the team? I want to try to get to the controversy," Bezos said.
贝索斯说：“给我看那些丑陋的部分。我总是问，团队中是否有任何异议的意见？我想试着触及争议。”
More Of Bezos' Style: Lauren Sanchez, Bezos' girlfriend, told the Wall Street Journal that he advised her not to be the first to speak in a meeting.
贝索斯的风格更多：贝索斯的女友劳伦·桑切斯告诉《华尔街日报》，他劝她不要在会议中第一个发言。
"No, no, no. You're the boss. You talk last. You let everyone else talk, so that they don't get swayed by your opinion," Sánchez shared in the interview.
“不，不，不。你是老板。你最后发言。你让其他人先说话，这样他们就不会被你的观点所影响，”桑切斯在采访中分享道。
The Amazon founder is also known for his "Two Pizza Rule" which states that meetings should have no more participants than can be fed with two large pizzas.
亚马逊创始人还以他的“两个披萨规则”而闻名，该规则指出，会议的参与者不得超过两大披萨所能喂饱的人数。
