Amazon's Bezos Says Three Good Decisions a Day 'Enough'

Sep.20 -- Amazon founder Jeff Bezos discusses his practices to foster better management decisions. He speaks in the latest episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations." The interview was taped on Sept. 13 in Washington.

Finally a successful person with a normal sleep pattern.

[@diegoduran1562]

Yea now he does but he doesn’t need to anymore

[@Avi-ol7xl]

It's challenging to follow this sleeping pattern in today's lifestyle. They know if they have to last longer in the race, they need their body in a good state, not someone who was always sleep-deprived. Jeff Bezos didn't created anything less than Elon Musk.

@Sirius Magus BS

[@MrDan11422]

It's hard to understand why people believe the money goes with them. No banks exist in heaven. No land, language, or anything goes. I believe this life we are living is a test to the next. To see what we do with the gifts we have been given. If we take or add to the world. In the end everything goes back. The ones who have unless they give are only trading a short term in exchange for eternity of everything. Its very sad. I try to live by this 1. Help where you can 2. Share what you are able 3. Try not to harm

[@MrDan11422]

You understand that he could pay each employee 30 dollars an hour. An investment of 30 billion. That could allow millions (included each worker and thier family) Financial freedom. Not only that but would incentivize other companies to follow suit. He could literally change the world for the people. The golden rule TRUMPS all. It's sad you don't see it.

[@Bballer12ification]

Wish he would give examples of high quality decisions

[@cory99998]

I dont think thats the point

[@Arpsie1]

High Quality meaning thought through and with a good tangible result. Not a rushed decision with a bad result. ie the early meetings when his mind is fresh

[@justsomerandomdude2415]

High quality choices is not buying into amazon.

[@jackbauer555]

i havnt made 3 good decisions in the last decade

[@seempaq]

I like how he said swiftly that it wasn’t like that up to 100 employees. I can already hear him say he worked 23 hours a day as a startup haha 😂

[@richardbaker2701]

Could he make the good decision to actually properly pay his staff?

[@MrJabbothehut]

Maybe you should start a company and pay low skill workers more than Amazon do then theyd come to you and be happy. Oh no wait you're jst happy telling other people what to do with their money.

Jeff Bezos major decisions: How many fish should I swallow today?

[@caenterprisellc6922]

I don't know I would say that I putter in the morning, but I do have a full routine when I get to work and before I do anything. It's funny, the routine is when I get to the office. So, I have a home routine and a work routine. 😆 When you are dealing with a lot of people with many personalities and big programs with big dollars and a lot of moving parts, my perspective is you have to get into a certain mindset. I'm serious about my work especially when it comes to validating and defending my program including my numbers. I don't play around. There is a certain level of focus you must have and my work routine helps me to focus in that environment.

[@corporateraider9766]

@Fbi OpenUp you're a smartarse, aren't you? So according to you nothing can come from something and at the same time you say Allah exists outside of all time and dimensions thereby existing forever. And by the way, I never said there was nothing. Anyone that says there was nothing before the Big Bang is full of shit. We say there was something very small and very dense and then it exploded and there is enough evidence to prove it. However we do not claim to know how it came into existence. That's different from saying it was God. There's too many inconsistencies and contradictions and stupid assumptions in the Bible, Quran and Torah for them to be true
