The two-pizza team rule

Piece of wisdom from Jess Bezos of Amazon.

Excerpt from the wall street journal

One former executive recalled that, at an offsite retreat where some managers suggested that employees should start communicating more with each other, Mr. Bezos stood up and declared, "No, communication is terrible!"

He wanted a decentralized, even disorganized company where independent ideas would prevail over group thinking  He instituted, as a company-wide rule, the concept of the "two-pizza team"—that is, any team should be small enough that it could be fed with two pizzas.

This won't be a surprise coming from a man who supposedly keeps 2 days in a week completely unscheduled so that he can just spend time thinking, checking things online and let his mind wander!!!
