With a fortune of 112 billion dollars, Jeff Bezos, who was declared the richest man in the world in Forbes' 2018 list of World Billionaires, was born in the United States in 1964. Bezos, the founder and owner of Amazon.com, which started as an online bookstore and eventually became the world's most popular and largest website, had his idea rejected when he proposed it to the company he worked for. After that, Bezos left his job and established the website, and due to his significant contribution to the development of e-commerce, he was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine in 1999.
Jeff Bezos, who has a life full of successes, places great importance on the details of team meetings. He believes that meetings that will mentally exhaust people should be held between 10 a.m. and noon. He thinks that energy and mood are important for the efficiency of meetings and that critical decisions should be made before daily tasks start to overwhelm minds as time progresses.
Bezos explains his view on making important decisions correctly and effectively: "The job of a top-level executive is not to make thousands of decisions every day. They are a person who needs to make a few, but significant and high-quality decisions, and that is what they are paid for. Is it worth rushing critical business decisions because you are tired or irritable?"
No matter how rich, smart, and successful a person he is, Jeff Bezos does not expect the company's problems to wait for the hours he deems appropriate. If a serious issue arises in the afternoon, Bezos takes the first initiative that needs to be done. However, he still waits until the next day between 10 a.m. and noon to hold a large-scale team meeting on the subject. Additionally, he believes that having too many participants will hinder the efficiency of critical business meetings. He advocates that the number of attendees should be limited to those who can be satisfied with two pizzas.
