Jeff Bezos' 2 Pizza Rule

Jeff Bexos is one of the most legendary entrepreneurs and Founder/CEO of Amazon. He has been known to have and follow his own set of beliefs and has created the world's largest online retailer.



One rule he believes in is the '2 Pizza Rule'. He believes that a meeting should not be attended by people who can eat more than 2 pizzas, i.e. ideally a meeting should be attended by less than around 8 people. He believes that when the meeting has more people attending, the flow of communication gets inhibited. In large groups, the attendees cannot express themselves clearly and creative thinking and discussion gets limited. Large groups lead to group consensus taking priority over individual ideas and viewpoints, which in turn hampers the productivity of the meeting.
