In this episode, we talk about learnings from Jeff Bezos' operating style - trying to identify areas where we can apply these learnings to our personal and professional lives.
Jeff Bezos, as most of us would know, is the legendary founder-CEO of Amazon.com - possibly the most successful company of the current century. He has recently stepped down from his post of CEO at Amazon to pursue interests - specifically in space exploration with this company Blue Origin.
We cover the following themes in our discussion:
1. Clarity - Amazon's famous narrative, 6-pager meetings (No Powerpoint!).
2. Balance - Evaluating multiple decision frameworks simultaneously and using the best ones. Specifically, the Type-1 and Type-2 decision-making process.
3. Conviction, Self-belief & Bezos' famous regret-minimization framework.
Our recommendation for the episode:
1. Invent & Wander - The Collected Writings of Jeff Bezos, with an Introduction by Walter Isaacson
2. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
3. Carry On - Rainbow Rowell
4. Siddhartha - Herman Hesse
5. Beyond The Last Blue Mountain: A Life Of J. R. D. Tata - R.M. Lala
6. The 50 Best Contemporary Novels Under 200 Pages
Happy listening!
