Wandering Matters!

Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com CEO, Interview for Recode 2016 – great discussions on AI and all things retail and Space!

“I like things where wandering matters, i like to wander…I make sure all my meetings do not have tight agendas. I don’t like tight agendas because they assume you know where you are going…which for certain type of meeting is right, like if you are doing a business review and you are going through the metrics, that should have a good agenda. but most meetings are not like that…wandering is super important, thinking and knowing exactly where you are going is the kind of lack of humility that does not let you invent…”  Jeff Bezos on #min54 of the interview.

Sounds trivial but coming from Bezos these statements validates the kind of meetings that i take with headlines but no clear agendas and loose time…we finish when we finish…

This small point aside:) It is a good interview with a real great leader – no fuss but ruthless execution! #Recommended
