Jeff Bezos Banned PowerPoint in Meetings. His Replacement Is Brilliant

39427

Curated by Paul Helmick

I’m a Technology CEO and Experienced Entrepreneur. I love helping people use technology to grow their business.

In his 2018 annual letter, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos repeated his rule that PowerPoint is banned in executive meetings
What Bezos replaced it with provides even more valuable insight for entrepreneurs and leaders
Bezos revealed that “narrative structure” is more effective than PowerPoint
Instead of reading bullet points on a PowerPoint slide, everyone sits silently for about 30 minutes to read a “six-page memo that’s narratively structured with real sentences, topic sentences, verbs, and nouns”
After everyone’s done reading, they discuss the topic
Check out the full article from Inc Magazine to see the six reasons why this approach much more effective.
